Understanding Glacial
Isostatic Adjustment
A
Joint DynaQlim / GGOS Workshop
June 23-26, 2009,
Espoo, Finland
 | The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) Regional Co- ordination Committee DynaQlim invites scientists and experts to participate in the Joint DynaQlim/GGOS workshop "Understanding Glacial Isostatic Adjustment" to be held in Espoo, Finland June 23-26, 2009. |  |
Background and Workshop objectives:
The objective of the workshop is to review the current state of the science in modeling glacial isostatic adjustment, to review the use of geodetic measurements to both constrain and to test GIA models, to identify obstacles to improving GIA models, and to identify the improvements to the global geodetic observing system that are required to advance our understanding of glacial isostatic adjustment.

The Venue, transportation and accommodation:
The meeting will be arranged in Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), Betonimiehenkuja 4, Espoo Finland.
You can easily access the site by public transportation or by taxi from the Helsinki downtown or from the airport. (more...)
Programme and schedule:
The Workshop begins on Tuesday noon, June 23, and ends on Friday afternoon, June 26.
Session 1: Introduction
