Logistical information management / New ships and real-time data in low connectivity locations

Increasingly, polar observation systems are investigating ways to store and share information on observing assets and logistical supports, from field sites and projects, to expeditions and vehicles. We invite presentations on efforts to standardise the way this information is managed. Many polar programs are building new research vessels and designing the data collection, storage, and management systems to support them. This session is an opportunity to share lessons and experiences in developing these systems.
