Dear Colleagues

We would like to draw your attention to the special session G05 at  
the May 22-27, 2007
Spring AGU 2007 meeting in Acapulco, titled "Large Scale Geodetic  
Networks for Science,
Hazard Monitoring, and Infrastructure". We invite those of you with  
new and related
results to submit one or more abstracts.

This session will focus on the development of networks of geodetic,  
gravimetric,
meteorological, seismic, and borehole and laser strain, sensors for  
"ultra broadband"
observatories, and the use of data from those networks to study a  
range of geophysical
problems. Geophysical communities around the globe are implementing  
networks of geodetic,
gravimetric, meteorological, seismic, borehole and laser strain  
sensors for "ultra
broadband" observatories. Often operated in close cooperation with  
international
scientific organizations, such as the International GNSS Service  
(IGS) and new efforts
such as the GGOS (Global Geodetic Observing System of the  
International Association of
Geodesy), these networks can have broad impact. GPS, for example, not  
only provides
valuable data for geodetic and atmospheric scientific research and  
hazards monitoring,
but also benefits surveying and navigation communities. This session  
will highlight
existing and planned networks; routine and higher order data  
products; data product
access and display tools; integrated science using multiple  
instruments; applications of
real-time, high-rate geodetic data including volcanic, earthquake,  
and tsunami warning
and GPS seismology; geoinformatics developments; new scientific  
discoveries,
technological advancements, and educational opportunities in large- 
scale, multi-use,
multi-institutional, regional geophysical networks in South, Central  
and North America.

Abstracts are due by March 1, 2007.  Abstract submission information  
can be found at:

We look forward to seeing you in Acapulco.
