Session F5a: PANEL: Emerging Scientific Use Cases for PNT Signals

RETURN TO SESSION LIST

Date: Friday, September 18, 2026
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 10:05 a.m.
Location: Windsong 3-4

Emerging applications that leverage precise timing and location from geophysics, climate, and space weather monitoring to Earth observation, ionospheric science, and autonomous environmental sensing. Panelists will highlight how modern GNSS and alternative PNT sources (such as LEO and lunar constellations) are advancing data fidelity, synchronization, and global accessibility and share current research frontiers and future directions where PNT technologies underpin transformative science and interdisciplinary innovation.
