Period: October 18th (Mon.) 〜 22nd (Fri.), 1999
Place:  Tsukuba International Convention Center, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan

sponsors:
CSTG (Commission VIII in Section II of IAG and Commission B.2 of COSPAR) ,
IGS (International GPS Service of IAG and FAGS),
 the National Committee of Geodesy, Science Council of Japan,
the Geodetic Society of Japan,

and the GPS/MET JAPAN Project Research Group

A part of the symposium is dedicated to
The Third International Meeting of
the Asia-Pacific Space Geodynamics Program

Scope:
  The symposium will consider the recent increase in GPS applications to
earth sciences. The Local Organizing Committee cordially invite all of those
who are interested in the following subjects;
* Crustal deformations by dense GPS arrays in Southern California, Japan etc.
* Ground-based and space-based GPS meteorology,
* Investigation of ionosphere,
* Application to earth rotation studies; geocenter, reference frame, etc.,
* Combination of SLR and GPS,
* Integrated space geodetic network using VLBI, GPS, GLONASS, etc,
* GPS and other techniques such as SAR, gravity measurements, etc.,
* Crustal dynamics in the Eastern Asia and the Western Pacific, and their
numerical modelling,
* Physical processes at plate boundaries; slow earthquakes, superplume,
backarc spreading, etc.,
* Kinematic GPS for monitoring seismic waves, tsunamis, ice flow, sea bottom
displacements, etc.,
* Local array for volcano and earthquake monitoring and hazard reduction,
* Application of GPS for monitoring global sealevel change,
* Collaboration between international projects; WING, APSG, GEODESSYA etc.,
* Regional aspects and roles of the International GPS Service (IGS),
* New and future space technologies and combination with conventional space
techniques,
* Tutorial sessions for those who are beginning GPS researches, etc.

 Venue:
  The symposium will be held in Tsukuba where the Geographical Survey
Institute operates the nationwide dense GPS array in Japan. The area is
conveniently located for visiting glorious old shrines in Nikko as well as
other scientific institutes. A couple of scientific and sightseeing tours
will be prepared by the Local Organizing Committee.
