Dear Colleagues,

As part of the 2018 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in 
Washington DC
10-14 December 2018, we would like to draw your attention to the session on:

G019: Reference Frames: Determination, Usage and Application

The description of the session is given below.

We encourage you to participate in and submit an abstract to our session.

For more information about the 2018 Fall Meeting, please consult:

G019: Reference Frames: Determination, Usage and Application:

The quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea level 
variation, co- and post-seismic
deformation, glacial isostatic adjustment, loading effects, but also 
precise orbit determination
of artificial satellites, rely on the availability of a global 
terrestrial reference frame, such as the ITRF.
The session solicits contributions from scientists determining or using 
global reference frames for
their applications, focusing on error budgets and other limiting 
factors. Contributions from analysts
of space geodetic techniques (VLBI, SLR, GNSS, DORIS) and their 
combination in preparation for
the next ITRF release are welcome. Papers on the exploitation of 
ITRF2014 are also encouraged.
