MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes and Tectonics
(COMET) is pleased to announce a meeting with the following title
Advances in GPS Data Processing
and Modelling for Geodynamics
to be held at University College London
on 9th and 10th November 2005.
The purpose of the meeting is to bring together the global community of
GPS geodesy analysts with geophysicists, geologists, and other Earth
scientists to discuss advances in GPS data processing, particularly in the
light of the recent traumatic events in South East Asia and the increasing
number of CGPS networks being established for tectonic and other earth
science research purposes. The meeting is a follow-on from one held at
the Royal Astronomical Society in London by COMET earlier this year (see
http://comet.nerc.ac.uk/news_rasmeeting.html) that was attended by around
150 people from all over the world
The meeting will include keynote talks from
Yoaz Bar-Sever Earth Orbiter and Radiometric Systems Group, NASA-JPL
Geoff Blewitt Research Professor, Nevada Bureau of Mines &
Geology
and Seismological Laboratory, University of Nevada
Yehuda Bock Director, Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center
(SOPAC), and the California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC)
Tom Herring Professor of Geophysics, Dept. of Earth,
Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Urs Hugentobler Head of GPS Research, Centre for Orbit Determination for
Europe (CODE), University of Berne
The broad areas that the meeting is expected to cover are as follows:
· review of, and major developments in, the major scientific GPS
data processing software packages,
· real-time geodynamics, monitoring, detection and warning systems,
· reference frame realisation and loading effects,
· antenna phase centre modelling,
· atmospheric delay modelling,
· the potential impact of Galileo, and
· regional and global case studies.
Emphasis throughout the meeting will be on GPS data processing and
modelling rather than on downstream geophysical modelling.
