Dear IAG Bureau, IAG EC, dear Colleagues and Friends:

Thanks to the members of the Scientific Committee, conveners and the LOC, we
are ready to accept contributions to be submitted to the VI Hotine-Marussi
Symposium to be held at Wuhan University, 29 May - 2 June 2006. Please
circulate the following information (included after this short message) to
those who may be interested. In particular, we would be very garteful, if
the conveners could re-send the information to those who are interested in
your sessions. Thank you.

Jozsef, please post this 2nd announcement and call for contributions on the
IAG official website, edit
and send it to Springer for printing in J Geod. Thank you very much.

Best regards, to you all.

Peiliang Xu

Call for Contributions: 2nd Announcement of  VI Hotine-Marussi Symposium of
Theoretical and Computational Geodesy: Challenge and Role of Modern Geodesy,
Wuhan University, 29 May - 2 June 2006.

The symposium will focus on the following five topics: Satellite gravity
missions: open theoretical problems and their future application;
Earth-environmental, disaster monitoring and prevention by Geodetic methods;
GNSS: Mathematical theory, engineering applications, reference system
definition and monitoring; Deterministic and Ramdon fields analysis with
application to BVP, approximation theory and inverse problems; and
Statistical estimation and  prediction theory, quality improvement and data
fusion.

The Symposium consists of the following 9 sessions:

All scientists are welcome to attend the VI Hotine-Marussi International
Symposium of Theoretical and Computational Geodesy: Challenge and Role of
Modern Geodesy. To give (oral or poster) presentations at the Symposium,
authors must submit abstracts of their papers to relevant sessions through
the Local Organizing Committee. A complete abstract must include the
following information: title(s) of contribution(s),  name(s) of author(s),
affiliation(s) of author(s), the text of an abstract. When you submit an
abstract, you must also indicate which session to submit to in the subject
line of your email. The deadline of submitting an abstract is 1 March 2006.

All submissions should be sent to the following email address:
ICCT_HM2006 @ sgg.whu.edu.cn
