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:
7 review of, and major developments in, the major scientific
GPS data processing software packages,
7 real-time geodynamics, monitoring, detection and warning systems,
7 reference frame realisation and loading effects,
7 antenna phase centre modelling,
7 atmospheric delay modelling,
7 the potential impact of Galileo, and
7 regional and global case studies.
Emphasis throughout the meeting will be on GPS data processing and
modelling rather than on downstream geophysical modelling.

One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science,
measured against reality, is primitive and childlike and yet it is
the most precious thing we have.
