[IGSMAIL-7813] Fwd: IGS session in the AGU program

[Rolf Dach]

Dear AC colleagues,

there is less than one week to go to the abstract deadline for this 
year's AGU. For that reason, I want to remind you not to miss this 
deadline for submitting your abstract to the session

G018: "Scientific Applications Enabled by the International GNSS Service 
(IGS) and by Improvements to GNSS Products"
The original announcement is below.

Best regards, see you in San Francisco

Rolf

Dear colleagues,

regarding the success of the IGS session at last years AGU Geoff and me 
decided to propose again a session

G018: "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 our products and those 
that are generating them. The conveners Geoffrey Blewitt (University of 
Nevada Reno, USA), Gary Johnston (Geosciences Australia), Felix Perosanz 
(CNES, France) and myself hope for many interesting contributions in 
order to establish an active exchange.

Please be reminded that AGU abstracts may be submitted until 31st of 
July 2019 via the AGU abstract submission form:
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/prelim.cgi/Session/77119

More information about the event taking place again in San Francisco, CA 
during 09-13 December 2019 can be fount at:

See you in San Francisco,
best regards

Rolf

The full description of the session is as follows:
"Since more than 25 years, the International GNSS Service (IGS) has 
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.  Currently three global systems are 
fully deployed, namely GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo 
(Europe). The Chinese BeiDou system is under development. The number of 
GNSS satellites will soon rise to >100, potentially offering new 
scientific applications.  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.  This session solicits presentations on scientific 
applications that are enabled by IGS products, and on improvements to 
quality and breadth of GNSS products that enable new science."
