  1. Conference Announcement and Call for Abstracts
    11th Annual Polar Technology Conference
    24-26 March 2015
    Denver, Colorado

This conference brings together polar scientists, engineers and
technology developers in a forum to exchange information on research
system operational needs and technology solutions that have been
successful in polar environments. The exchange of knowledge helps to
address issues of design, implementation and deployment for systems that
are to achieve their research goals in the polar regions.

Past participants have come from the private sector, state and federal
agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academia. Presentations
generally cover system requirements for proposed research along with
descriptions of systems and approaches that have been proven in polar
deployments. Typical hardware and software topics have included weather
stations, robotics, power systems, telemetry, and remote communications.
The scale of systems ranges from small autonomous data collection
systems to large-scale research stations. The polar venues represented
include under, on, and above the ice, tundra, or sea.

Discussions on intra- and inter-national cooperation in site deployment
and maintenance are encouraged. Informal breaks allow for opportunities
for networking and information exchange. A poster session is also
included. Organizers are pleased to have support from the National
Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs as an endorsement of the
concept of bringing together providers and consumers of these
technologies in hopes of benefiting from that synergy. Previous years'
lists of presentations and participants can be found on the conference
website.

providing guidance for future studies. There are twenty-six sessions
planned within the following themes:

- Antarctica and supercontinent evolution
- Antarctic Surface Processes, Landscapes, and Links with Cryosphere
and Climate
- Antarctic Solid Earth Structure and Interactions with the
Cryosphere
- Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and Evolution of Climate and the
Global Cryosphere
- Biodiversity and the Evolution of Life
- Frontiers in Antarctic Earth Sciences
- General Antarctic Earth Science

Abstract submission deadline: 27 February 2015.
