From page 1...
... Some examples of the many specific types of technology advances discussed include instrument deicing and cryocooling technologies; fuel cell and solid-state batteries; enabling Internet connectivity with low Earth orbit satellites and subsea cable systems; sensor platforms that can be tethered to sea ice, dropped from aircraft, and mounted on animals; portable real-time DNA analysis of biological samples; autonomous airborne and underwater vehicles with sophisticated instrument packages and flexible operational controls; and meteorological, geodetic, and space weather sensors powered by solar photovoltaics. Several common threads arose as issues of broad interest in the workshop discussions.
