Subject: ETS2008 extended deadline:  May 16, 2008


Dear colleagues!

We want to draw your attention to session ETS-5 
on the Earth Tides Symposium 2008 (ETS 2008) in 
Jena (Germany), September 1-5, 2008. The 
symposium is sponsored by the International 
Association of Geodesy (IAG), the Commission 3 
(Geodynamics)  and  the sub-commissions on Earth 
Tides (3.1),  Crustal Deformation (3.2), 
Geophysical Fluids (3.3) and the Global 
Geodynamics Project (GGP).

The deadline for abstract submission has been 
extended to May 16, 2008 (!).  Please find all 
information on the symposium at 
http://www.ets2008.de We want to ask you to 
spread this information also to other colleagues 
that might be interested in the symposium. Thank 
you very much!

The session description of ETS-5 is as follows:

ETS-5 Space Geodetic Techniques / GGOS
Conveners: R. Haas, H. Schuh, J. Müller

All tidal corrections applied to space geodetic 
techniques: tidal effects on space missions; 
satellite laser ranging (SLR), lunar laser 
ranging (LLR), very long baseline interferometry 
(VLBI); satellite gravimetry; global navigation 
satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo); 
satellite altimetry and gravity field missions 
CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE, others), and the Global 
Geodetic Observing System.

We are looking forward to receive many abstract 
submissions and hope to see you in September in 
Jena!

best regards,
Rüdiger Haas, Harald Schuh  and Jürgen Müller

P.S. We want to apologize if you receive this information several times.
