Why?
| Project Objective: | ACCES aims to determine impacts on marine biodiversity and the socio-ecological consequences of the change from seasonally ice-covered to ice-free Arctic coasts by comparing Arctic coastal sites with an existing gradient in ice cover |
| Call Objective: | The Call addresses two major (non-exclusive) priorities: - Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions; - Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios. |
Where?
| Regions: | Arctic, Europe, North America |
| Countries: | Canada, Norway, United States of America (USA) |
When?
| Duration: | 36 months |
| Call Date: | October 2, 2017 |
