Earth rotation is driven by mass transport and redistribution within the Earth geophysical fluids system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, ocean, cryosphere, mantle and core. Although relatively small, the Earth rotational changes, represented by polar
motion and length-of-day variation have been measured by space geodetic techniques with increasing, unprecedented accuracy, opening up important new avenues of research that will lead to a better understanding of global mass transport processes and of the
Earth’s dynamic response. For the quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea level change, polar ice sheets mass balance, glacial isostatic adjustment and plate tectonics, a global reference frame, such as the International Terrestrial Reference
Frame (ITRF), is needed. This session solicits contributions ranging from geophysical interpretations of observed Earth rotational change using advance numerical models estimates, in situ measurements, and satellite altimetry and gravimetry measurements, theoretical
formulation and determination of reference frames (and geocenter motion), to geophysical applications of Earth rotation and reference frame in improving the understanding of the Earth geodynamic change and global mass transport and redistribution. <br class="">
