(GSFC-61A0)" Subject: REFAG2018 Abstract Deadline Extension to Feb 16 *** PLEASE NOTE **** *** The abstract deadline for REFAG2018 at COSPAR has been extended to 16 F= ebruary, 23:59 UTC *** REFAG2018 Symposium and Panel on Satellite Dynamics Meeting, Hosted at COSPAR 2018, 42nd Scientific Assembly July 14-22, 2018, Pasadena, California, USA https://www.cospar-assembly.org http://cospar2018.org Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware, February 8 is the abstract deadline for the REFAG2018 = Symposium ("Reference Frames for Applications in Geosciences") to be held a= t the COSPAR 2018, 42nd Scientific Assembly, from July 15-21 in Pasadena, C= alifornia, USA, as COSPAR Scientific Event B1.2, officially co-sponsored by= the International Association of Geodesy. The REFAG2018 Symposium descri= ption posted at http://www.cospar-assembly.org is copied below. We anticipate having 6 half-daily sessions during the week assuming partici= pation is similar to the level of previous REFAG Symposia (held every 4 yea= rs). In addition, 4 half-daily sessions at COSPAR2018 are anticipated for = the Panel on Satellite Dynamics Meeting (COSPAR Scientific Event PSD.1). 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-locat= ion using common parameters in space, co-location using clocks and new sens= ors, troposphere ties, next generation reference frames, environmental load= ing effects, etc. We therefore would especially encourage abstract submis= sion from all of you working with Commission 1, including the many subcommi= ssions and their working groups, joint study groups, and joint working grou= ps. Abstracts relating to reference frames are welcome from all researchers= irrespective of IAG affiliation. Please find more information on IAG Commission 1 at http://iag.geo.tuwien.a= c.at/c1/ Thank you for considering your participation in Pasadena in July. Note tha= t COSPAR is hosted by Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and pro= vides a great opportunity to visit colleagues at both institutions.

For the geosciences, precisely defined reference frames a= re needed for an improved understanding of the Earth's rotation and its gra= vity field, geocenter motion, glacial isostatic adjustment, surface loading= deformation and global redistribution of water, sea level change with time= , tectonic plate motion and plate boundary deformation, the earthquake cycl= e, and other crustal displacements. We solicit presentations dealing with = theoretical aspects and the practical realization of reference frames, as w= ell as their applications in the geosciences. Further emphases of the sessi= on are on global terrestrial and regional reference frames, celestial refer= ence frames, and the co-location of space geodetic techniques on ground and= in space. Additionally, we encourage scientific reports from the many ded= icated participants of IAG Commission 1, its sub-commissions, and associate= d working groups. -- Geoff Blewitt, Professor University of Nevada, Reno http://geodesy.unr.edu http://www.nbmg.unr.edu/staff/geoff.htm "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn=92t be called research" - Albert = Einstein Cliquez sur l'url suivante=20 https://www.mailcontrol.com/sr/O9u2Bh8o0GHGX2PQPOmvUuToodiywuSOYbGg73KOdkgz= xf3aklZN63mrS96Mm3cWMXaI8hqOCjyqQH8FWVwkvA=3D=3D=20=20 si ce message est ind=E9sirable (pourriel).
