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. SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS Abstracts in the form of a title and a 300-500 word summary are invited and should be sent (ideally by email) to the meeting organisers whose contact information is below Professor Paul Cross and Dr Marek Ziebart Department of Geomatic Engineering, University College London Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT Tel: +44 20 7679 7028 Fax: +44 20 7380 0453 Email: paul.cross@ge.ucl.ac.uk and marek.ziebart@ge,ucl.ac.uk Deadline for abstracts: 13 July 2005 COMET is a Centre of Excellence in Earth Observation funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council and led by Professor Barry Parsons. It comprises geodesists and geophysicists from the Departments of Earth Science at Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the Department of Geomatic Engineering, University College London.
