We invite those of you with new and related results to submit one or more abstracts. This session will focus on the development of networks of geodetic, gravimetric, meteorological, seismic, and borehole and laser strain, sensors for "ultra broadband" observatories, and the use of data from those networks to study a range of geophysical problems. Geophysical communities around the globe are implementing networks of geodetic, gravimetric, meteorological, seismic, borehole and laser strain sensors for "ultra broadband" observatories. Often operated in close cooperation with international scientific organizations, such as the International GNSS Service (IGS) and new efforts such as the GGOS (Global Geodetic Observing System of the International Association of Geodesy), these networks can have broad impact. GPS, for example, not only provides valuable data for geodetic and atmospheric scientific research and hazards monitoring, but also benefits surveying and navigation communities. This session will highlight existing and planned networks; routine and higher order data products; data product access and display tools; integrated science using multiple instruments; applications of real-time, high-rate geodetic data including volcanic, earthquake, and tsunami warning and GPS seismology; geoinformatics developments; new scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and educational opportunities in large- scale, multi-use, multi-institutional, regional geophysical networks in South, Central and North America. Abstracts are due by March 1, 2007. Abstract submission information can be found at: http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja07/?content=program We look forward to seeing you in Acapulco.
