[IGSMAIL-6940] AGU session: Geodetic detection of non-tectonic crustal and surface movements (session #1799)

[Shuanggen Jin]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention for AGU session, *Geodetic detection
of non-tectonic crustal and surface movements.*

*Session Description:*

Space-based geodetic techniques provide highly accurate measurements of the
Earth’s surface and its changes over time. Early space geodetic
measurements played a significant role in measuring tectonic plate motion
and earthquake induced crustal deformation, which revolutionized the field
of tectonics. However, with the increasing precision of space geodetic
measurements, smaller crustal and surface movements, mostly of non-tectonic
origin, have been detected (e.g., hydrological cycle). In many cases, the
observed movements reflect a combined contribution of several non-tectonic
forcing phenomena. Observing, characterizing, and modeling such
non-tectonic crustal and surface movements enable better understanding the
interaction between the solid Earth and its neighboring spheres:
atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and anthroposphere. Furthermore,
characterization and modeling of non-tectonic movements can lead to more
accurate assessments of tectonic movements. In this session we solicit
contributions that cover all aspects of non-tectonic crustal and surface
movements including observation, observation methods, data processing and
post-processing, interpretation, and modeling.

Sincerely,
Shimon Wdowinski (University of Miami)
