ESSAS 2026 in Reykjavik, Iceland
2026 Annual Science Meeting
Borealization:
Subarctic and Arctic Marine Systems in Transition
ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Subarctic and Arctic Seas)
A call is expected for this exciting meeting in early December, with abstracts due by the 15th January 2026. The organiser encourage booking of accommodation early, due to June being a busy month in Reykjavík.
Tentative session titles include the following. Each session is focused around a theme and is designed to span the natural and social sciences and to cover systems from the coast to the deep sea:
- Marine Heatwaves: Impacts on High Latitude Ecosystems from Physics to Biology and Human Communities
- Tracking Borealization: Physical Change, Biological Responses, Community Impacts
- Gadids under Borealization: Ecology, Fisheries, and Management
- Connections across the Subarctic Atlantic: Physics to Fish, Fjords to Gyres, Surface to Seafloor
- The effects of multiple drivers on Arctic and Sub-arctic costal/fjord environments: bridging marine chemistry and biology
