In recent years we have witnessed notable progress in signals, services, and satellite deployment of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Modernizing operational GNSS systems and developing new constellations have moved us towards a new stage of multi-constellation and multi-frequency observations. Meanwhile, the technology development provided high-grade GNSS equipment to collect measurements at much higher rates, up to 100 Hz, of lower noise and multipath impact. Moreover, the recent progress in low-cost GNSS chipsets catalyzes an expansion of traditional satellite navigation to novel areas of science and industry. Therefore, on one side, the developments in GNSS stimulate a broad range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations, both in post-processing and in real-time. On the other side, such progress results in further problems and challenges in data processing, which boosts GNSS research. Algorithmic advancements are needed to address the opportunities and challenges in enhancing the accuracy, availability, interoperability, and integrity of high-precision GNSS applications.
This session is a forum to discuss advances in high-precision GNSS algorithms and their applications to Geosciences. Contributions from other branches of Geoscience, such as geodynamics, seismology, tsunamis, ionosphere, troposphere, etc., are also welcome.
