The themes of this GGOS Workshop 2006 will focus on two major issues, namely the GGOS organization and politics, and the scientific goals of GGOS. The workshop will address these two issues in four sessions: Session 1: Status and Future of GGOS - GGOS organizational status and future - GGOS WG activities - GEO/GEOSS activities - IGOS-P activities - UNESCO/UNEF umbrella Session 2: The Science of Earth System Dynamics - Mass transport in the Earth system - Dynamic interactions of the solid Earth and its fluid envelope - Earth system dynamics as observed by the three pillars of space geodesy: geometry and kinematics, Earth orientation and rotation, and the gravity field and its variability Session 3: Inconsistencies in GGOS Data and Products - Inconsistencies in data collection - Conceptual inconsistencies - Inconsistencies in analysis and models - Inconsistencies in product definition and services Session 4: Towards a Combined Analysis of Geodetic Observations Across the Three Pillars of Geodesy - Towards common conventions for the three pillars - Integrated modeling across the three pillars - Combination including all the three pillars - Combination of results versus combination of observations More details on the workshop, including deadlines for registration and abstract submission will be made available in May 2006 at http://geodesy.unr.edu/ggos/ggosws_2006/. We hope to see you all in Munich for this GGOS Workshop 2006. With best regards, Markus Rothacher (GGOS Chair) Ruth Neilan, Hans-Peter Plag (GGOS Vice-Chairs)
