[IGSMAIL-6375] International Workshop on GNSS Remote Sensing, Aug. 7-8, 2011, Shanghai

[Shuanggen Jin]

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 7-8,
2011!
