Subject: short course on GPS Analysis: Toulouse 13-15 November, 2002

Intermediate-level short course in GPS Analysis using GAMIT/GLOBK Software

Toulouse, France 13-15 November, 2002

This 3-day short-course will cover intermediate and advanced issues in GPS 
analysis for crustal motion studies, e.g., analyzing large data sets 
automatically, defining reference frames, handling transient non-linear 
deformation, and combining solutions. It is assumed that all participants 
have: (0) acquired a solid background in GPS theory, (1) read the 
GAMIT/GLOBK manual and the online tutorial, (2) installed and run 
GAMIT/GLOBK, (3) collected a data set of their own to process, (4) mastered 
Unix, including csh scripting.

The instructors will be Drs. Robert W. King (MIT) and Kurt L. Feigl (CNRS 
France), both of whom have contributed to the development of the 
GAMIT/GLOBK software. They will teach in English.

The short course will take place at Antares Sud-Ouest, a training institute 
in Toulouse, France. Located near a museum devoted to space exploration (La 
Cite de l'Espace), it is accessible by public transportation. 
Reasonably-priced hotels and restaurants are available within walking 
distance. See www.antares-so.fr for more information. For help with 
hotel reservations, please contact Ms. Anne Destouches 
anne.destouches@antares-so.fr directly.

The cost of the short course will be 600 euro per person exclusive of 
travel, payable to ANTARES. Since Antares is an " organisme de formation 
professionnelle" (No. 73.31.02191.31), employees of organizations in France 
(such as the CNRS) can request funding from "leur departement de formation 
continue".

The short course will include practical lab sessions on Linux computers. 
The number of machines restricts the number of students to twelve (12). 
Please plan on bringing your data set (RINEX files, H-files, etc.) on 
CD-ROM. The available keyboards are French (AZERTY). If you are used to a 
different keyboard, please plan on bringing it.

To enroll, please contact Ms. Anne Destouches 
 before Friday, October 18. She must receive 
payment by Monday, November 4, 2002.
