IAU Symposium No. 82, "Time and the Earth's Rotation," met to
discuss modern research in the field of the rotation of the Earth
with particu lar emphasis on the role of new observational
techniques in this work. The use of these techniques has prompted a
new look at the definitions of the traditional reference systems
and the concepts of the rotation of the Earth around its center of
mass. Specific topics discussed were time, polar motion, reference
systems, conventional radio interferometry, very'long baseline
interferometry (VLBI), Doppler satellite methods, satellite laser
ranging, lunar laser ranging, and geophysical research concerning
the Earth's rotation. Improvement in the accuracy of the
observations is a key to possible solutions of the many unsolved
problems remaining in this field. It appears that such improvement,
using both classical and new techniques, is forthcoming in the near
future. This will surely contribute to a better understanding of
some of the long-standing questions concerning the rotation of the
Earth around its center of mass and lead to an improved knowledge
of the rotating, deformable Earth. This volume contains the papers
presented at IAU Symposium No. 82 as well as the discussions
provoked by these papers. It is hoped that it captures the
principal points of the meeting and that it will contribute not
only to a better understanding of existing problems, but also to
future research in time and the Earth's rotation."
