It is with regret that we inform our international community of POSSUMweb users that from 30 June 2024 the POSSUMweb database will no longer be available.

This web-based version was released more than 12 years ago. Maintaining a high level of security with recent software advancements is no longer viable. This means we will no longer accept new subscriptions or renewal requests.

Our current subscribers will be contacted.

We are grateful for all the support from our subscribers and POSSUMweb community throughout the years.
