SESS report 2018

The State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2018 has been released during the SIOS Polar Night Week in Longyearbyen, January 2019. It is the first of an annual series of reports published by SIOS. It takes us through all the spheres from the deep permafrost through the surface interfaces, into the ocean and into the upper atmosphere approaching space. It illustrates the breadth of Earth System Science questions as well as the breadth of Svalbard research.

The SESS report is published in two versions:
