C43C:
Technological Advances to Enable Science in the Polar Regions Posters


Session ID#: 8834

Session Description:
Continuous, rapid evolution of numerous technologies, including but not limited to: communications; low power electronics; sensors; autonomy; longevity; improved energy sources and storage systems; coupled with enhanced approaches to signal processing, data handling protocols, and cyberinfrastructure, are enabling new capabilities and enhanced science at high latitudes.

This session is intended for posters and/or oral presentations that document available technology and recent advances in technology that better enable science at fixed and mobile locations on ice, land, sea, and air platforms in the Polar Regions.

We strongly encourage contributions from projects that are at any stage from conceptualization through post-deployment data handling.  Use of and/or modifications to commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products for new applications as well as new developments are also encouraged.

Presenters are particularly encouraged to discuss both successes and challenges encountered during testing and deployment of new and existing technologies as well as barriers to advancing such technologies.
