ESSS Poster Conference

15th Annual Earth System and Space Science Poster Conference

Friday, December 3, 2021

SEEC Auditorium (C120)

This free conference highlights work by students and postdoctoral scientists conducting research in Earth System & Planetary Science and Space Physics & Engineering. Participants and visitors from CU departments and research institutes, as well as other Front Range schools and organizations, are encouraged to participate. Feel free to download the flyer (click to enlarge) and share it with your department or institute.

This year we are planning to return to an in-person experience, but will adapt to any changing guidelines due to COVID-19. Should participation become limited due to space restrictions, we will prioritize posters from CU departments and institutes.

Registration

The registration deadline is Monday, November 15, 2021. In order to register, you will need to provide a title for your presentation and your affiliation. An abstract is not required. For planning purposes, please register even if you are not presenting a poster. A link to register for the conference can be found here. Please indicate on the signup sheet whether you plan to participate in the poster competition and/or whether you would like to serve as a judge. The registration desk will open prior to the start of the conference in front of the SEEC auditorium. Please check in at the registration desk when you arrive to receive a name badge, and be aware that masks are required in all CU campus buildings unless actively eating or drinking.

Program

A complete version of the conference program with session assignments will be posted during the week prior to the conference.

Student Award for Best Poster Presentation

This year we will resume the student poster competition, with monetary awards ($100) for the best overall graduate and undergraduate posters.
