ESSAS - Ecosystem Studies of Subarctic and Arctic Seas

Featured Research

  • A Synthesis of Results from the Norwegian ESSAS (N-ESSAS) Project

    ESSAS has several formally recognized national research projects. In Norway, it was entitled the Norwegian Component of the Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic Seas (NESSAS) and was funded by the Research Council of Norway from 2005 to 2008.
