Earthzine’s Virtual Poster Sessions (VPS) feature student projects, outcomes of conference workshops, and products of programs and organizations.

In this archive, you will find VPSes hosted by Earthzine in collaboration with several organizations.

Since 2011, Earthzine has regularly collaborated with NASA’s DEVELOP National Program to showcase the work of student interns using the VPS platform. Presentations include an impressive array of abstracts, videos, and other presentation formats on applied science projects. Individual and team projects are discussed in a blogging, question-and-answer format that uses Facebook and other social media.
