A compilation of products from the National Science Foundation-funded Study of the Northern Alaskan Coastal System (SNACS) research projects is now available online. SNACS projects focused on the arctic coastal zone of Alaska and addressed one or more aspects of two coupled themes:

  • How vulnerable are the natural, human, and living systems of the coastal zone to current and future environmental changes in the Arctic?
  • How do biogeochemical and biogeophysical feedbacks in the coastal zone amplify or dampen change locally and at the pan-arctic and global levels?

SNACS projects resulted in more than 60 journal publications, 88 conference presentations, and 25 other products.
