Poster Specifications
Posters will be displayed only during the Thursday evening poster session at the Brush Gallery in McDonnell Hall on the Princeton Campus (about 20 minutes away from NOAA/GFDL). Shuttle service and driving/parking directions will be available shortly.
The available poster display panels are 4 feet by 4 feet square peg board. Format your poster so that it does not exceed 48 inches or 120 centimeters horizontally. You may make your poster longer than 48 inches or 120 centimeters vertically, but be aware that it will hang below the bottom of the panel and might be difficult to read. Plan to bring your poster to the session on Thurday and hang it as soon as you arrive at the Brush Gallery.
If you have questions regarding your poster presentation, please contact Jill Reisdorf at reisdorf@ucar.edu.
