Organizers announce a call for abstracts and meeting registration for
the 13th Annual Polar Technology Conference (PTC). This meeting will
convene 11-12 April 2017 in Littleton, Colorado.

The PTC brings together polar scientists and technology developers to
exchange information on research system operational needs and technology
solutions for polar environments. This knowledge exchange helps
scientists and engineers address issues of design, implementation, and
deployment for systems that enable scientists and agencies to achieve
their research goals in the polar regions.

Presentations cover system requirements for proposed research along with
descriptions of systems and approaches proven successful in polar
deployments. Hardware and software topics include, for example, weather
stations, robotics, power systems and storage, telemetry, and
communications. Scale ranges from autonomous data collection towers to
large scale research stations. Polar field sites include those under,
on, and above the ice, tundra, or sea. A poster session is also
scheduled for this meeting.

Organizers welcome participation from academia, state and federal
agencies, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations.

Rooms have been reserved for conference attendees at the Homewood Suites
by Hilton Denver Littleton. Reservations can be made online.

Abstract, session, and theme submission deadline: 28 March 2017.

Registration deadline: 5 April 2017.

Lodging reservation deadline: 21 March 2017.
