[IGSMAIL-6237] Fall AGU 2010, Session G08 -- Very Large GPS/GNSS Networks: Exploiting the Data Explosion for Science

[Geoff Blewitt]

Author:  Geoff Blewitt and Tom Herring

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider participating in the following session of the Fall AGU 
Meeting, to be held in San Francisco, 13-17 December 2010.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Session G08: 	Very Large GPS/GNSS Networks:
		Exploiting the Data Explosion for Science

Sponsor: 	Geodesy
CoSponsor: 	Earth and Space Science Informatics

Conveners: 	Geoffrey Blewitt, University of Nevada, Reno
		Thomas Herring, MIT

GPS networks are used for many scientific applications, but full 
exploitation of all the world's data is a challenge. The number of 
stations now at >4,000 has doubled every 2-3 yr, sampling rates are 
increasing, latency is decreasing, and GNSS is arriving. With millions 
of parameters to be estimated daily, rigorous solutions are 
computationally impossible, and quality control is tricky. We solicit 
abstracts on enhancing large network solutions for science. Topics range 
from theory, automation, algorithms, partitioning, bias fixing, GNSS 
integration, quality control, and visualization. We encourage 
contributions from research projects and centers that process data from 
large networks, such as TIGA, Earthscope, and IGS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstracts are due 2 September 2010 (23:59 EDT), at:
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/program/abstract_submissions.php

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.

- Geoff and Tom
