North Slope Science Initiative

The North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI) is a collaborative effort to gather and manage scientific information about Alaska's North Slope region, a sensitive and ecologically important area. Its goal is to provide decision-makers with reliable data on wildlife, climate, and ecosystems, helping balance environmental protection with resource development like oil and gas. By coordinating research and sharing findings, NSSI aims to support sustainable use of the land and resources, ensuring informed decisions that consider ecological health, cultural values, and economic interests in this Arctic environment.
