Dear IGS Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the session Geodesy-6 :
"GNSS new capabilities for geosciences" of the next EGU general
assembly to be held in Vienna, Austria during 15-20 April 2007.

Event Description:
It is expected that the availability of Galileo, modernized GPS and a
revitalized Glonass will offer many exciting opportunities and
challenges
in the field of geosciences in the next decade. This session will
address
this question and invites scientific contributions:
- From GIOVE experimental feedback including signal performance, laser
and radio-electric tracking
- That cover the broad area of innovative or improved applications and
technique such as - but not restricted to - high precision Real-Time
Kinematic (RTK) and Precise Point Positioning (PPP), Three-carrier
Ambiguity Resolution (TCAR), altimetry from reflected signals
- From new GPS L2C signal analysis
- From Galileo Geodetic Service Provider (GGSP) activities
- Dealing with time metrology like time transfer, on-board clock
technology, Galileo Time Service Provider (GTSP) activities
In addition, we encourage discussions on the contributions of GNSS to
international geosciences services, organizations and programmes
including but not limited to IGS (products improvement, antenna
calibration activity, working groups...) and especially to the Global
Geodetic Observing System (GGOS).

Abstract submissions will be accepted online until 15 January, 2007.
