Details
The Society for Human Performance in Extreme Environments (HPEE) will hold its Eighth Annual Meeting, September 26-27, 2010 at the Hyatt, Regency San Francisco, Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California. USA. Registration information, including meeting times and room location, will be announced shortly. The meeting will precede the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting (see www.hfes.org), also at the Hyatt Regency, September 27 - October 1, 2010.
Scope
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, polar, desert, and underwater environments. In addition, we address specific occupations and activities occurring in extreme environments such as military operations, police, firefighting, emergency response/disaster management, hazardous materials handling/disposal, search and rescue, emergency medical service, and recreational activities in extreme settings.
