Application for support is due by December 1 (see the website below). Instructions for submission proceedures are found at http://www.copernicus.org/egsagueug/index.html John Wahr and Philippe Huybrechts have agreed to give Solicited Presentations for this Special Geodesy Session. Since the Meeting in Nice this year is a combined EGS, EUG, and AGU we expect heavy attendence and lively scientific interaction. Please attend, participate and enjoy! The GD10 session description is given below. "The sensitivity of ice sheets, ice caps and glaciers to climate change is a topic of heightened interest due to their potential effects on sea-level and on the future sustenance of mountain glacier environments. Changing ice masses on the continents force the Earth's interior into gravitational disequilibrium. As a consequence, geodetic constraints on the surface mass changes and the Earth's response to them are of considerable scientific importance. The special session focuses on data and models of the changing ice mass balance and the Earth's response that are connected to geodetic observational strategies. There may be a wide range of spatio-temporal scales involved, from the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets to smaller glacier systems such as those of Alaska, Iceland or Patagonia, with time scales ranging from sub-decadal to millennial. Self-gravitational effects on sea-level change patterns are likely to be substantial, as might the influence of regional viscoelastic Earth structure. We invite contributions focusing on models for interpreting long and intermediate wavelength gravity anomalies to be determined by the GRACE and GOCE satellite missions as well as terrestrial data, such as GPS, tide-gauge or absolute gravity, that constrain ice mass/solid Earth change signatures on length scales as short as tens of kilometers." We apologize if you receive this message more that once. Very Best Regards, Erik Ivins, Detlef Wolf and Ralf Greve ------------------------------------------------- Dr. Erik R.
