The Virtual Poster Session effort focuses on bringing the concept of the
poster presentation beyond the four walls of the conference hall, and
creates an online database of polar research poster publications. This
project allows members with similar goals and interests to exchange
information and assures a platform for the exchange of polar and
cryospheric research, policy, and education activities that are shaping
the future of polar research.
