Polar Technology Conferences

The Polar Technology Conferences  bring together Polar Scientists and Technology Developers in a forum to exchange information on research system operational needs and technology solutions that have been successful in polar environments.  This 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 typically cover system requirements for proposed research along with descriptions of systems and approaches that have been proven in polar deployments.  Typical hardware topics include weather stations, robotics, power systems, telemetry, remote communications.  Informal breaks allow for opportunities for networking and information exchange amongst the attendees.
