Early Trade-offs and Top-Level Requirement Definition for Antarctic Greenhouses
The development of plant production facilities for extreme environments presents challenges not typically faced by developers of greenhouses in more traditional environments. Antarctica represents one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth and presents unique challenges to facility developer...

The development of plant production facilities for extreme environments presents challenges not typically faced by developers of greenhouses in more traditional environments.
