Proposals Invited for Eighth Annual HPEE Meeting

By Jason Kring, HPEE President

     The Society for Human Performance in Extreme Environments (HPEE) is seeking proposals for its Eighth Annual Meeting at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco on September 26-27, 2010. The meeting will precede the HFES 54th Annual Meeting in the same location.

     Researchers, practitioners working in applied domains, and students are encouraged to submit proposals for lecture, poster, or discussion panel presentations. Proposals may be empirically based, theoretically based, or application based.

     HPEE defines extreme environments as settings that possess extraordinary physical, psychological, and interpersonal demands that require significant human adaptation for survival and performance. Example settings and domains include spaceflight, high-altitude aviation, mountaineering, and polar, desert, and underwater environments. In addition, we address specific occupations and activities occurring in extreme environments, such as military operations, police operations, firefighting, emergency response/disaster management, hazardous materials handling/disposal, search and rescue, emergency medical services, and extreme recreational activities.

     The deadline for proposals is April 30, 2010. Please visit the annual meeting page to view the Call for Proposals. Additional information, including a preliminary agenda of papers and invited addresses, will be posted in late spring. For more information, contact meeting Cochair Joseph Crimi at joseph.crimi@gmail.com or HPEE at society@hpee.org.
