FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPER
Dear friends and colleagues,
a new Hotine-Marussi is coming!
The V Hotine-Marussi Symposium is continuing the tradition of Symposia on Mathematical Geodesy initiated by the two famous geodesists in Venice in 1959. As it is tradition these Symposia provide an open forum to the discussion on any theoretical problem in geodesy and this tradition will continue with the V Symposium.
We have only chosen, to help focusing the attention, to propose four main items, on which some presentations will be invited:
The variety of data and models in geodesy is increasing fast with new technologies and computing facilities; yet the wealth of methods applied to analyse and reduce our data is not keeping the pace with the new challenges; new theoretical work is needed in this area.
The concept of global geodetic reference systems has become a reality with an unbelievable accuracy due to the large number of systematic observations by geodetic services working with space observations; each technique has its own rank deficiency leading to a particular definition of reference systems; estimability problems and combination methods are methodologically of the greatest importance; also with the "height" coordinate a similar problem is present and a realistic description of the corresponding reference system definition is under debate.
Potential theory is the basic theoretical background of the problem of determining the earth gravity field; traditionally this has generated a number of B.V.P.s which recur as a backbone in theoretical geodesy; the need of performing suitable approximated solutions has given rise to a number of original techniques, like Tychonov approximation, collocation theory etc., which are still under development; open problems need to be clearly formulated, classified and, possibly, solved.
The great abundance of space geometric and (in the next future) of space gravimetric/gradiometric data is pushing to a new era of blossoming of inverse problems in geodesy in conjunction with other geosciences.
Questions like: "what geophysical models can be discriminated from space geometric data?", "what is the gravity field signature of important geophysical processes (viscous deformation, hydrogeological cycle, ocean circulation etc.)?", "how can geodetic observations cooperate with other disciplines to improve our knowledge of the earth?" are still intensively investigated and need more thought.
So this is only a suggestion and any other item will be accepted on condition that it is treated from the point of view of theoretical geodesy. Even more: to go back to the pioneering spirit of the first Symposium, let us state that any "paper on problems" (not necessarily on solutions) is also welcome. The only condition is that the paper (or at least "readable material") should be ready and distributed at the Symposium, so that presentations could be followed by attendees. In addition, during all days we will organize a round table with an open discussion for at least 60-90 minutes.
Regular reviewed proceedings are published by Springer in the IAG Series and instructions for authors will be sent after having received back the registration forms.
The meetings will be held at the Matera Center for Space Geodesy of the Italian Space Agency. On wednesday morning the Special Commission 1 on Mathematical and Physical Foundations of Geodesy will have its meeting; in the afternoon a visit is organized to the ancient caves of Matera and to an archaeological site by the sea, where a dinner will be offered.
The registration fee is fixed to USD 150 for students (up to the Ph.D. level) and USD 250 for the others, including the proceedings.
Depending on the number of participants we will try to waive the registration fee for those that will require it and to provide some financial support for those in need.
In case you are interested in participating in the Symposium, please fill in the enclosed registration form and send it back by January 7, 2002 (by mail, fax, or e-mail) to Elena Raguzzoni (see address below). Other communications have to be addressed to both Elena Raguzzoni and Vincenza Luceri.
More detailed information will be given in the next circular letter together with a tentative program. You can also visit in the next days our web page (now in progress) on www.iges.polimi.it.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Matera, I send you my best regards.
Cordially,
Fernando Sansò
