Following the tradition established by Stanford University and SRI
International, the 5th annual Polar Technology Conference will be hosted
by the IceCube Research Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Thursday and Friday, 16 - 17 April 2009. The primary purpose of this
conference is to bring together polar scientists and technology
developers in a forum to exchange information on research system
operational needs and technology solutions. This exchange of knowledge
will help to address issues of design, implementation, and deployment
for systems that are to achieve their operational 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 as well as
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.
Participants will have an opportunity to give a presentation of their
work or needs.
