Reference Frames: Determination, Usage, and Application
Reference Frames: Determination, Usage, and Application
Session ID#: 279738
Session Description:
The Earth is a dynamic planet. The quantification of many
geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea level variations, co-and
post-seismic deformation, glacial isostatic adjustment, local
subsidence due to natural or anthropogenic causes, loading
effects, ice sheet and glacier mapping, mitigation of natural
hazards, but also precise orbit determination of artificial
satellites, rely on the availability of a global terrestrial
reference frame, such as the International Terrestrial
reference Frame (ITRF). The session solicits contributions from
scientists determining or using global reference frames for
their applications, focusing on error budgets and other
limiting factors. Papers from analysts of space geodetic
techniques (DORIS, GNSS, SLR, VLBI) and their combination,
and in the context of the ESA Genesis or similar missions are
particularly welcome. Papers on the exploitation of past ITRF
solutions and the latest 2020 solution Updates are also encouraged.
