[IGSMAIL-7653] IGS Session at AGU

[Rolf Dach]

Dear colleagues,

as you might have noticed there will be a session

G021: “Scientific Applications Enabled by the International GNSS Service 
(IGS) and by Improvements to GNSS Products”,

at the upcoming AGU. As the title promises it shall become a platform 
for interactions between people that are using IGS products and those 
that are generating them. Geoffrey Blewitt from the University of Nevada 
Reno, USA and myself will organize this session and hope for many 
interesting contributions in order to establish an active exchange.

Please be reminded that AGU abstracts may be submitted until 1st of 
August 2018 via the AGU abstract submission form: 
https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/abstract-submissions/

More information about the event taking place in Washington DC during 
10-14 December 2018 can be fount at: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018

See you in Washington DC,
best regards

Rolf

The full description of the session is as follows:
“For nearly 25 years, products of the International GNSS Service (IGS) 
have increasingly enabled a broad diversity of scientific applications, 
such as Earth rotation, tectonophysics, seismology and the earthquake 
cycle, glaciology and glacial isostatic adjustment, global environmental 
change, sea level, terrestrial water storage, time transfer, space 
weather and atmospheric science, natural hazards and tsunami early 
warning, and fundamental physics. The recent inclusion of Galileo 
(Europe) and Beidou (China) to the established GNSS – GPS(US) and 
GLONASS (Russia) – will eventually increase the number of satellites to 
 >100, offering potential new scientific applications. Moreover, the 
continuous development and improvement of IGS products in this 
fast-moving field with new GNSS satellites, systems, signals, models, 
and GNSS data analysis methodology is a scientific challenge. For this 
session we solicit presentations on scientific applications that are 
enabled by IGS products, and on improvements to quality and breadth of 
GNSS products that will enable new science.”
