The deadline to submit abstracts was Tuesday, April 24, 2018. The instructions below are for reference only.
Similar to special oral sessions, there is the opportunity to organize groups of posters on a particular topic and to have those posters grouped together. Poster clusters require a chairperson to organize the cluster and to prepare an overview poster that synthesizes information from the individual posters to provide larger-scale conclusions or applications of results. The posters should be well-integrated and complementary as a cluster. Including a diversity of perspectives is encouraged. Proposals for poster clusters must be submitted by the abstract submission deadline of April 24, 2018.
The following items must be submitted for a poster cluster:
- Poster Cluster Proposal Form: The Special Session Chair/Organizer must submit a poster cluster proposal form. Proposals require a cluster title, the name of the cluster organizer, a paragraph (<200 words) describing the content and focus of the cluster including the relevance of this topic to Bay-Delta management, as well as a list of poster titles and authors.
To submit a Poster Cluster Proposal Form you will need to create an account. If you have submitted an abstract for a previous Bay-Delta Science Conference or State of the Estuary Conference, you can log in using your account information from past years.
Submission Deadline is April 24, 2018. Go to the top of the Call for Abstracts page for the link to submit a poster cluster proposal.
