Call for Abstracts – EGU26 Session G2.2 “New Technologies for GGOS”

The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) invites contributions to Session G2.2 “New Technologies for the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS)” at the EGU General Assembly 2026 in Vienna. This session will highlight innovations and advances in geodetic observing systems for monitoring Earth’s geometry, gravity, and rotation. Topics include emerging technologies such as relativistic geodesy, quantum sensors, next-generation laser systems, LEO-based positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), and other forward-looking geodetic techniques. The session also welcomes contributions on general GGOS developments, new observatory concepts, and strategies to enhance the global geodetic infrastructure. Join us in shaping the future of geodesy and exploring how cutting-edge technology can strengthen GGOS’s role in observing and understanding our dynamic planet. Abstract Deadline: 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET
