   2009 AGU Fall Meeting -- San Francisco, 14-18 Dec 2009
             http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/

Abstracts will be accepted starting 30 July for the G4 session at
the 2009 AGU Fall Meeting.  This session concerns "Results of the
Reprocessing of Space Geodetic Observations":

  The Analysis Centers of the International GNSS Service (IGS) are
  reanalyzing the history of global network GPS data collected since
  1994 in a consistent way using the latest models and methodology.
  This is the first reprocessing by the IGS, though some individual
  groups have already undertaken such programs. It is expected that
  reprocessings will be repeated in the future as further analysis
  and reference frame changes occur. All eight final product Analysis
  Centers of the IGS are participating, together with three other
  related groups.

  Some preliminary results of this effort have already been submitted
  for inclusion in the ITRF2008 multi-technique combination. Complete
  and combined results from the IGS campaign should be available by
  the end of 2009.

  This session examines the results of this reprocessing effort and
  considers future directions and improvements. Other non-IGS groups
  involved in similar reanalysis activities are also encouraged to
  contribute their results. Results from reanalysis of VLBI, SLR and
  DORIS data are likewise welcome.
