[1 November 2012] Tutorial on Hydrogeodesy at the Annual WaterNet Symposium: A special session at the 13th Annual WaterNet Symposium, which was held at the Birchwood Hotel near Johannesburg, South Africa, was devoted to a hydrogeodesy tutorial. About 20 participants were introduced to hydrogeodesy, learned about data assimilation in models and got an overview on Earth observations in support of water resource management. More information on the tutorial is available on the Tutorial web page.

[08 February 2010] GGOS Vice-Chair resigns after four and a half years: After the GGOS Retreat and the 17th Meeting of the GGOS Steering Committee, one of the two GGOS Vice-Chairs, Hans-Peter Plag, resigned on February 7, 2010. As reasons, he quoted mounting differences in the GGOS Executive Committee and with the IAG Bureau about the mode of operation, the direction of GGOS, and the extent to which GGOS activities should be integrated into GEOSS, which made productive and goal-oriented cooperation increasingly difficult.
