Observing our changing earth: Proceedings of the 2007 IAG General Assembly, Perugia, Italy, July 2-13, 2007

This volume contains a selection of 99 papers from the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) quadrennial General Assembly, held in Perugia, Italy, from July 2 to 13, 2007, in conjunction with the XXIV General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The Symposia focused on Earth observation and the there pillars of geodesy (geometry, Earth rotation, gravity field), and the presented topics spanned a broad and multidisciplinary spectrum of theory and applications. It was clearly evident that, with the recent advances in space missions such as GRACE, geodesy can now contribute to the detection of large-scale temporal phenomena and hence to the solution of important problems of society related to monitoring our environment and understanding global change. Therefore, the title of this volume, ‘Observing our ChangingEarth’, was chosen to reflect this fact, as well as to agree with the generaltheme of the 2007 IUGG General Assembly, ‘Earth: Our Changing Planet’ 99 papers from the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) quadrennial General Assembly in Perugia, Italy, July 2007 INDICE: Symposium GSS001: Reference Frames.- Symposium GSS002: Gravity Field.- Symposium GSS003: Earth Rotation and Geodynamics.- Symposium GSS004: Positioning and Applications.- Symposium GSS005: The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS).- Author Index.
