Dear Colleagues,

The General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held in Vienna,
Austria, 8-13 April 2018.

We draw your attention in particular to session

*G1.3 - High-precision GNSS: methods, open problems and Geoscience
applications*
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/26517

This session is an activity of:
- IAG SC4.4. Multi-constellation GNSS and
- IAG-ICCT JSG 0.10 High-rate GNSS

Session G1.3 description:
In the past two decades high-precision GPS has been applied to support
numerous applications in Geosciences. Currently, there are two fully
operational Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and two more
are in the implementation stage. The new Galileo and BDS systems
already provide usable signals, and both, GPS and GLONASS, are
currently undergoing a significant modernization, which adds more
capacity, more signals, better accuracy and interoperability, etc.
Meanwhile, the huge technology development provided GNSS equipment (in
some cases even at low-cost) able to collect measurements at much
higher rates, up to 100 Hz, hence opening new possibilities.
Therefore, on one side, the new developments in GNSS stimulate a broad
range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations,
both in post-processing and in real-time; on the other side, this
results in new problems and challenges in data processing which boost
GNSS research. Algorithmic advancements are needed to address the
opportunities and challenges in enhancing the accuracy, availability,
interoperability and integrity of high-precision GNSS applications.

This session is a forum to discuss new developments in high-precision
GNSS algorithms and applications in Geosciences; in this respect,
contributions from other branches in Geosciences (geodynamics,
seismology, tsunamis, ionosphere, troposphere, etc.) are very welcome.

The session will be remarkably enriched by two invited talks given by
distinguished speakers: Prof. Thomas Herring from MIT, USA and Dr.
Amir Khodabandeh from Curtin University, Australia.

We encourage, but not limit, submissions related to all aspects of the
following issues:
- Modeling and strategies in high-precision GNSS,
- Multi-GNSS benefit for Geosciences,
- Multi-GNSS processing and product standards,
- Inter-system and inter-frequency biases and calibrations,
- New or improved GNSS products for high-precision applications
(orbits, clocks, UPDs, etc.),
- Precise Point Positioning (PPP, PPP-RTK),
- High-rate GNSS,
- GNSS and other sensors (accelerometers, INS, ecc.) integration for
high-rate applications,
- Ambiguity resolution and validation,
- CORS services for Geosciences (GBAS, Network-RTK, etc.),
- Precise Positioning of EOS platforms,
- Precise Positioning for natural hazards prevention,
- Monitoring crustal deformation and the seismic cycle of active faults,
- GNSS and early-warning systems,
- GNSS reflectometry,
- Time and frequency transfer,
- High-precision applications for Geosciences,
- and more.

Accepted Authors may also consider submitting their manuscripts to a
special issue on GNSS in Measurement Science and Technology:
*http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0957-0233*
edited by Dr. Jacek Paziewski and Prof. Mattia Crespi.

*Deadline for receipt of abstracts is 10 January 2018:*

Please consider submitting an abstract for this session or contact us
directly if you have any questions.
