[IGSMAIL-8362] IGS session in the AGU program

[Rolf Dach]

Dear colleagues,

regarding the success of the IGS session at last years AGU (in 
particular before the pandemic situation) we decided to propose again a 
session

G024: "Scientific Applications Enabled by the International GNSS Service 
(IGS) and Associated 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 Allison Craddock (IGS CB, JPL, 
USA), Thomas Herring (ACC, MIT, USA), and Rolf Dach (GB Chair, AIUB, 
Switzerland) hope for many interesting contributions in order to 
establish an active exchange.

Please be reminded that AGU abstracts may be submitted until August, 2nd 
2023 via the AGU abstract submission form:
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Home/0

More information about the event taking place again in San Francisco, CA 
during 11-15 December 2023 can be found at:

See you in San Francisco,
best regards

Allison, Tom and Rolf

The full description of the session is as follows:
"The International GNSS Service (IGS) provides a broad range of 
high-precision openly available products supporting a diverse array of 
GNSS-based scientific applications. Currently the legacy product chains 
include three out of the four meanwhile fully deployed global 
constellations, namely GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. Developments to 
including additional global and regional systems (BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC, 
etc.) are ongoing within the IGS.
Advances in IGS product development may stimulate new multi-GNSS based 
scientific applications in a wide range of potential applications from 
geodetic, geodynamic towards glaciology, global environmental change, 
disaster and tsunami early warning, up to space weather and atmospheric 
science. At the same time, the continuous improvement of GNSS-based 
products is a scientific challenge regarding constantly evolving 
satellites, systems, signals, related models, and data analysis 
methodology.
This session solicits presentations on scientific applications enabled 
by IGS products as well as new strategies to improve the quality and 
breadth of GNSS products."
