Dear All Colleagues:

International workshop on GNSS Remote Sensing for Future Missions and Sciences
August 7-9, 2011, Shanghai, China
http://www.shao.ac.cn/gnss

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely used in
navigation, positioning and geoscience applications. Recently, the versatile
refracted, reflected and scattered signals of GNSS have been
successfully demonstrated to sound the atmosphere and ionosphere, ocean, land
surfaces (including soil moisture) and the cryosphere as a new remote sensing
tool. With the further improvement of the next generation multi-frequency GNSS
systems and receivers and new space-based instruments utilizing GNSS
reflections and refractions, new scientific applications of GNSS are expected
in various environment remote sensing fields in the near future.

The international workshop on “GNSS Remote Sensing for Future Missions and
Sciences” will be a forum for assessing current ability and presenting recent
results and future developments as well as looking for new collaboration
opportunities, joint nanosatellite experiments and missions using GNSS
refractometry, reflectometry and scatterometry, e.g., atmospheric and
ionospheric sounding using ground and space-borne GPS measurements (CHAMP,
GRACE, COSMIC, MetOp, TerraSAR-X, OceanSat-2…), GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) in
ocean altimetry, and soil moisture and ice/snow status as well as geohazards
monitoring/warning (e.g., Hurricane, Typhoon, Tsunami and Earthquake…).

You are welcome to participate in the International Workshop on “GNSS Remote
Sensing for Future Missions and Sciences”. See you in Shanghai, Aug 7-9, 2011!

Best Regards
Organizing Committee
