The scope of the G01 Symposium is appended below. Please be aware of the following deadlines: 17th January 2011: Applicants for Conference grants must submit their abstract by this date. 1st February 2011: All Other Delegates must submit their abstract by this NEW, REVISED date. 28th March 2011 Authors notified of paper acceptance; Successful Conference grant applicants notified. 11th April 2011 Early Bird Registration deadline; Presenters and successful grant applicants MUST register by this date or their papers will be withdrawn from the program. ABSTRACTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE AUTHOR WHO WILL PRESENT THE PAPER Counting on your contribution to IAG Symposia and wishing you a Happy New Year 2011, we remain with best regards. Sincerely Yours, The conveners of IAG G01 Symposium: Zuheir Altamimi (France) Athanasios Dermanis (Greece) Joćo Agria Torres (Portugal) G01 Symposium: Reference Frames from Regional to Global Scales Scope: Reference frames are of primary importance for many Earth science researches and applications, satellite navigation as well as for practical applications in geo-information. A precisely defined reference frame is needed for the quantification of, e.g. Earth rotation and its gravity field, sea level variation, tectonic motion and deformation, post-glacial rebound, geocenter motion, large scale defor ma tion due to Earthquakes, local subsidence and other ruptures and crustal dislocations. The main scope of the Symposium is to deal with theoretical aspects of reference systems and the practical applications for their reali zations as well as applied researches. The topics concentrate on the requirements for the definition and realization of the terrestrial reference systems (TRS) and frames (TRF), fundamental issues closely related to TRS, such as multi-technique global geodetic obser vatories (local ties, site effects, interdisciplinary use…) and methods for the combined processing of heterogeneous observation data. Regional reference frames and their connection to the global International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) are also included. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zuheir Altamimi Email : zuheir.altamimi@ign.fr Institut Geographique National Phone : 33 1 64 15 32 55 Service de la recherche / LAREG FAX : 33 1 64 15 32 53 c/o ENSG 6-8 Avenue Blaise Pascal 77455 Champs-sur-Marne, FRANCE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please do not reply directly to this message, but send comments and suggestions to IDS.central.bureau@cls.fr
