Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that abstract submissions are open for
the
IGS Session at the next AGU Meeting (07-11 Dec 2026 in
San Francisco):
G021 - The International GNSS Service (IGS):
Leveraging Next-Generation GNSS Data Processing and Analysis
Techniques to Secure the Future of Geodesy. The session
details are provided below.
We are excited to see sustained progress from our community,
especially after our very successful IGS Symposium and Workshop in
Santiago de Chile (the recordings and materials of which will be
available soon at
https://igs.org/workshop/2026/).
We kindly encourage you to submit an abstract to the IGS Session,
before
the 5th of August 2026 at 2359 EDT (06 Aug 2026 at 0359 UTC).
To do so, simply visit
https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Session/280416.
Please also forward this information to colleagues, working groups,
services, early career scientists, or other experts you think might
be interested.
We are looking forward to hosting and promoting your contributions !
Thank you very much,
Kind regards,
Camille, on behalf of the G021 Conveners and the IGS Central Bureau.

G021 - The International GNSS Service (IGS): Leveraging
Next-Generation GNSS Data Processing and Analysis Techniques to
Secure the Future of Geodesy
by Camille Martire, Mara Figueroa, Tom Herring, Scott Luthcke, Rolf
Dach
The International GNSS Service (IGS) provides high-precision, openly
available, multi-GNSS data and products. This voluntary worldwide
federation continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of geodetic
excellence through enhanced, comprehensive, multi-GNSS techniques.
As global constellations expand and new architectures emerge in Low
Earth Orbit (e.g., LEO-PNT), geodetic data analysis methodologies
must quickly adapt. Furthermore, missions like ESA's GENESIS and
NASA's GRITSS, focused on unifying the global geodetic reference
frame, require the most advanced and rigorous data analysis
strategies and inter-technique combinations.
This session invites contributions focused on advancements in GNSS
data analysis. Topics of interest include techniques leveraging
multi-GNSS and cross-constellation capabilities; strategies
incorporating LEO-based observations in geodetic processing;
innovative modeling techniques; machine learning applications
improving GNSS data analyses; and processing strategies supporting
the goals of the GENESIS and GRITSS missions. We specifically
welcome presentations highlighting the challenges and solutions in
achieving ever-finer geodetic precision in a rapidly evolving GNSS
landscape.
