Student participation is strongly encouraged.
The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center is pleased to announce the inaugural Byrd Center Symposium: Climate Change Research at Ohio State. The Symposium will gather all of the climate research here at OSU under one roof for a day in order to increase visibility of your research on campus and to help you connect with other OSU climate researchers. The Symposium will span the gamut of all climate, physical drivers of climate and the response of water and energy cycles, the impact of climate change, ways of thinking and talking about climate, and everything in between.

Poster Presentations | Guidelines
We are excited to host ~ 70 poster presentations. As a reminder, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Maximum size is 4' x 3' (do not feel obliged to print at this size if you have enough space on a smaller poster).
- Participants are encouraged to repurpose a poster from a previous conference, if they have one, rather than create a new one.
- The symposium is designed to spark conversation between disciplines, so try to ensure that your poster does not just speak to specialists in your field but also invites discussions with potential collaborators.
- Poster set up will take place the morning of the Symposium, from 8:00 – 9:00am, on Friday, March 22. When you check-in, you will be given a poster number, and setup details.
