The scientific programme will cover five themes, as indicated below.
Contributed papers are welcome for all five themes. In addition, some of the themes will include position papers, invited talks, and discussions.
Theme 1. Recent advances and validations of the IERS Conventions models
- Ocean pole tide
- Atmospheric S1/S2
- Models of tropospheric propagation
- ITRF2005
- ...
Theme 2. Conventional contributions to local station displacements: what to include?
- Should non-tidal loading effects be considered as conventional?
- How should loading effects be handled?
- How should conventional models (for loading) be distributed?
- Accounting for geocenter motion
- ...
Theme 3. Evolution of the realization of reference systems
- ITRF: possible new approaches / new datum specifications
- ICRF
- Transformation Celestial-Terrestrial e.g.:
- specification for translational (geocenter) motion
- new theories
- ...
Theme 4. Technique-dependent conventions
- Presentations for each IERS technique
- Definition of a reference temperature
