Highlights from the 2018 Annual Science Meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska
2018 Annual Science Meeting and SSC meetingFairbanks, Alaska, June 12-14, 2018The Ecosystem Studies of the Subarctic and Arctic held its Annual Science Meeting at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska. A major theme of the 2018 meeting was the use of satellites in studying high-latitude marine ecosystems. The Fairbanks location was chosen in part because it is home to the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) and a desire to raise awareness within the ESSAS community about tools and capabilities for processing, mapping and analyzing satellite data available through ASF.The Annual Science Meeting attracted 39 scientists from seven countries and included the following sessions and a workshops (see also attached program):Group photo …
