Here you’ll find a list of publication using MEOP data, that we try to keep exhaustive. Please contact us if you have published a paper using seal-derived data, and we will happily add you on the list.
47 publications are listed below. A color coding has been used to give a simplisitc classification of papers: MEOP community and technology papers are flagged in blue, oceanography-oriented papers in red, and biology-oriented papers in green.
