ESSAS - Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic Seas

ESSAS will convene its second Open Science Meeting - May 22 - 26 2011 in Seattle, WA, U.S.A - to showcase the progress made both in ESSAS working groups, and in the national and multi-national programs affiliated with ESSAS. As well, the Meeting will be used to encourage participants to identify remaining gaps in our knowledge, and point the way for future work within ESSAS. We also anticipate that this Meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to explore ways that ESSAS can interact with IMBER, ICES, PICES and other international programs as we go forward in our comparative ecosystem studies.

Two members of the ESSAS Scientific Steering Committee will be co-authors of the next International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report scheduled to be released in 2013.
