Arctic Tipping Points

The ATP project has submitted the first reports on Arctic marine tipping points, thresholds, algae genetic and 1D sensitivity tests of the SINMOD model.

The reports are not available to the public, but are submitted to the EU and are available to the ATP team. In case some of the information is of interest to scientists they can contact the ATP team members mentioned in parentheses in order to discuss access to information.
