Abstracts relating to reference frames are welcome from all researchers irrespective of IAG affiliation. Note that in this four-year cycle of IAG's structure, IAG Commission 1 on "Reference Frames" is now addressing a very broad variety of topics related to reference frames, including (for example) relativistic geodesy, co-location using common parameters in space, co-location using clocks and new sensors, troposphere ties, next generation reference frames, environmental loading effects, etc. We therefore would especially encourage abstract submission from all of you working with Commission 1, including the many subcommissions and their working groups, joint study groups, and joint working groups. Please find more information on IAG Commission 1 at http://iag.geo.tuwien.ac.at/c1/ Thank you for considering your participation at Kobe in July/August! (With apologies for cross-posting). Geoffrey Blewitt, Johannes Böhm, Zuheir Altamimi, and Carine Bruyninx Session Convenors --------------- IAG Symposium G01 Reference Frames Conveners: Geoffrey Blewitt (University of Nevada, USA) Johannes Böhm (Vienna Technical University, Austria) Zuheir Altamimi (IGN, France) Carine Bruyninx (Royal Observatory of Belgium, Belgium) Description: Reference systems and frames are of primary importance for Earth science based research, satellite navigation as well as for practical applications in geo-information. A precisely defined reference frame is needed for an improved understanding of the Earth's rotation and its gravity field, sea level change with time, tectonic plate motion and deformation, glacial isostatic adjustment, geocenter motion, deformation due to Earthquakes, local subsidence and other crustal displacements. We invite presentations dealing with theoretical aspects and the practical realization of reference frames, as well as their application for research tasks like those mentioned above. Further emphases of the session are on global terrestrial and regional reference frames, celestial reference frames, and the co-location of space geodetic techniques on ground and in space.
