The goal of this comparison is multi-fold: First, to test the capabilities of the newly refurbished Table Mountain Geophysical Observatory (TMGO) of the United States\' National Geodetic Survey (NGS). Second, to attempt to bring together for comparison every operational absolute gravimeter in North America. Finally, to strengthen contacts amongst the various organizations operating an absolute gravimeter on the continent. The protocol will be for each gravimeter to measure on three different marks on (...)

Scope Reference systems and frames are of primary importance for many Earth science applications, satellite navigation as well as for practical applications in geo-information. A precisely defined reference frame is needed for the quantification of, e.g. Earth rotation and its gravity field, global and regional sea level variation, tectonic motion and deformation, post-glacial rebound, geocenter motion, large scale deformation due to Earthquakes, local subsidence and other ruptures and crustal dislocations.(...)

The 2nd General Assembly of the IGFS - International Gravity Field Service - will be held in Fairbanks, USA, in the days Sep 20-22, 2010, hosted by the University of Alaska. Deadline for submission of abstracts is June 1, 2010. The IGFS symposium follows the 1st IGFS symposium in Istanbul, August 2006, and the Symposium on Gravity, Geoid and Earth Observation, held in Chania, Greece, 2008. The symposium will focus on gravity field determination from satellites, gravity field modelling, geoid determination and (...)

The WEGENER project aims to bring together geoscientists interested in using geodetic techniques to measure and understand the 3D surface motion in Europe and the Mediterranean. The 15th Assembly of WEGENER will provide a forum for presentation, discussion, coordination and scientific support for geoscientists interested in unravelling the kinematics and mechanisms of the broad Eurasian/African/Arabian collision zone. Contributions on new aspects arising from the new satellite missions for gravity, SAR and(...)
