Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held 
in Vienna, Austria,  23 - 28 April 2017.

We draw your attention in particular to the session: "G2.2 The ITRF: 
Elaboration, Usage and Applications"

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session.

The goal of this session is to provide a forum to discuss reference 
systems theory, realization and applications in geosciences and society, 
with a special emphasis on the scientific applications of the 
International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), and namely the 
ITRF2014. Participants can discuss concerns not only related to the 
contributing technique services, but also all ITRF uses, ranging from 
local, regional to global applications. Contributions are sought from 
the individual technique services and various ITRF users, covering the 
complete range of topics, such as data analysis, parameter estimation 
and correction models. Of special interest is the assessment of the 
impact of non-linear station motions, e.g. periodic signals and 
post-seismic deformations. Contributions focusing on identifying and 
mitigating technique systematic errors are most welcome, which will 
hopefully help improve the future ITRF solutions.
