It is well known that space geodetic methods are under influence of ionospheric refraction, and therefore from the very beginning of these techniques geodesy deals with the ionosphere. In this context sophisticated methods and models have been developed in order to determine, to represent and to predict the ionosphere. Apart from this the ionosphere fits into another issue called „space weather“, which describes the interactions between the constituents of space and earth. To be more precise space weather means the conditions in space with a significant impact on space-based and ground-based technology as well as on earth and its inhabitantsSolar radiation, that is electromagnetic emission as well as particle emission, is the main cause or “drive” of space weather.

Originally, geodesy, or to be more precise, space geodetic methods have considered the ionosphere as a disturbing factor that affects signal propagation and that has to be corrected. This (geodetic) perspective has been changed over time and the ionosphere has become a target value so that geodetic observations are used to determine the ionosphere. Different groups have developed models of high quality, e.g. 3D-models which describe the ionosphere as a function of longitude, latitude and time or even 4D-models accounting for the height as well. However, since the ionosphere is a manifestation of space weather, geodesy should contribute to space weather research, and in this respect completely new scientific questions arise, in particular with respect to the so called “geo-effect”, which is the impact of space weather in general.

There are two principal goals of the proposed study group. First, to connect the “geodetic” ionosphere research with solar-terrestrial physics, in order to consider the complete cause-effect-chain. Second, the above mentioned “geo-effect” has to be investigated in detail, which is an important aspect, because modern society depends to a great extent on technology, i.e. technology that can be disturbed, that can be harmed or that even can be destroyed by extreme space weather events

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

===Program of activities===
It is both our privilege and pleasure to invite you to the VIII Hotine-Marussi Symposium, which will be held at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy on June 17-21, 2013, under the scientific coordination of the Intercommission Committee on Theory (ICCT) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG).
 
This First Circular just brings some general information; more details will be available soon at the Hotine-Marussi Symposium 2013 website.
 
Objectives
 
The main goals of the Symposium are aligned with the objectives of the ICCT:
 
 advances in theoretical geodesy
 
 developments in geodetic modelling and data processing in the light of the recent advances of the geodetic observing systems
 
 connections and contribution exchanges between geodesy and other Earth sciences
 
In particular, all the topics regarding the activities of the ICCT Study Groups are of interest and related papers are strongly encouraged.
 
Further, also papers concerning other topics related to the possible interaction and mutual benefits between geodetic theory and methodology and other initiatives/projects involving Earth sciences (for example the Group on Earth Observation) are welcome.
 
In this respect, it has also to be recalled that 2013 will be the special year for the Mathematics of Planet Earth.
 
Venue
 
The Symposium will be held at the Faculty of Engineering of the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, in the ancient chiostro of the Basilica of S. Pietro in Vincoli, where the worldwide known Michelangelo's statue Moses is placed. The Symposium location is downtown Rome, at walking distance from the Colosseo, Fori Imperiali and many other famous archaeological sites and monuments.
 
Please, mind that June is a high-season tourist period in Rome, so that an early registration and accomodation booking is highly recommended.
 
Abstracts, presentations and papers
 
Abstracts should be prepared according to guidelines and submitted through e-mail.
 
Deadline for submission is January 31, 2013. Both the guidelines and the e-mail address are available on the Hotine-Marussi Symposium 2013 website.
 
Each abstract will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and its eventual acceptance will be notified by e-mail to the Corresponding Author by March 15, 2013.
 
Upon abstract submission, the Corresponding Author will need to indicate the preference for oral or poster presentation. However, the final decision for the presentation form will be taken by the Scientific Committee during the abstract review.
 
Guidelines for full paper submission for peer-review and related formatting instruction will be available through the Hotine-Marussi Symposium 2013 website.
 
Accepted papers will be published by Springer as a volume of the official IAG series.
 
Registration fees
 
Two kinds of registration fees are distinguished:
 
 regular registration: 450 Euro
 
 student registration: 250 Euro (confirmation of student status by supervisor required)
 
An additional 100 Euro fee will be charged for late registration (after April 15, 2013).
 
The registration fees can be paid by bank transfer or credit card according to the information that is published on the Hotine-Marussi Symposium 2013 website.
 
They include:
 
 Symposium proceedings
 
 coffee breaks
 
 Rome tour
 
 social dinner
 
Social programme
 
The scientific programme will be complemented with a social one, including a tour in Rome, a social dinner and a special session at the Accademia dei Lincei (the oldest Scientific Academy in the world, established in 1603 by Federico Cesi).
 
  
We look forward to welcome you in Rome!

It is well known that space geodetic methods are under influence of ionospheric refraction, and therefore from the very beginning of these techniques geodesy deals with the ionosphere. In this context sophisticated methods and models have been developed in order to determine, to represent and to predict the ionosphere. Apart from this the ionosphere fits into another issue called „space weather“, which describes the interactions between the constituents of space and earth. To be more precise space weather means the conditions in space with a significant impact on space-based and ground-based technology as well as on earth and its inhabitants. Solar radiation, that is electromagnetic emission as well as particle emission, is the main cause or “drive” of space weather.

Originally, geodesy, or to be more precise, space geodetic methods have considered the ionosphere as a disturbing factor that affects signal propagation and that has to be corrected. This (geodetic) perspective has been changed over time and the ionosphere has become a target value so that geodetic observations are used to determine the ionosphere. Different groups have developed models of high quality, e.g. 3D-models which describe the ionosphere as a function of longitude, latitude and time or even 4D-models accounting for the height as well. However, since the ionosphere is a manifestation of space weather, geodesy should contribute to space weather research, and in this respect completely new scientific questions arise, in particular with respect to the so called “geo-effect”, which is the impact of space weather in general.

There are two principal goals of the proposed study group. First, to connect the “geodetic” ionosphere research with solar-terrestrial physics, in order to consider the complete cause-effect-chain.
