Second Circular
10th FIG International Symposium on
Deformation Measurements
Orange, California
March 19 through 22, 2001
You are cordially invited to the 10th
International Symposium on Deformation Measurements organized by Commission 6
of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) to be held in Orange,
California in March 2001. The symposium will be hosted by Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California in cooperation with the Department of Geodesy
and Geomatics Engineering of the University of New Brunswick, United States
Geological Survey, Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Orbit and Permanent
Array Center and Leica Geosystems.
Preliminary session topics are listed below. The
symposium will include 3 days of technical sessions plus poster paper sessions
and a one day technical tour. The morning half of the technical tour will be a
visit to Diamond Valley Lake (formerly named Eastside Reservoir) near Hemet,
California where a fully automated monitoring system has been established to
monitor 3 large earthen dams and the surrounding area. The afternoon half of
the tour will be to Devils Canyon Power Plant to tour the plant and see the
USGS real time GPS monitoring system at the San Andreas Fault.
The symposium will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel
in Orange, CA. Orange is located about 30 miles from the international airports
in Los Angeles and in Ontario, about 10 miles from the Orange County Airport
and about 15 miles from Long Beach Airport. The symposium hotel site is located
10 minutes away from Disneyland, 10 minutes away from two major shopping malls,
5 minutes from the Crystal Cathedral, 30 minutes from the Pacific Ocean and is
in the heart of Orange County near many more tourist activities. The hotel is
approximately 30 to 40 minutes from downtown Los Angeles with more activities
like Universal Studios, Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive, La Brea Tar Pit Museum and
many others.
