Sea ice directs changes in bowhead whale phenology through the Bering Strait [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2023 Background Climate change is warming the Arctic faster than the rest of the planet. Shifts in whale migration timing have been linked to climate change in temperate and sub-Arctic regions, and evidence suggests Bering–Chukchi–Beaufort (BCB) bowhead ...

Changes in the oxygen isotope composition of the Bering Sea contribution to the Arctic Ocean are an independent measure of increasing freshwater fluxes through the Bering Strait. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 A large volume of freshwater is incorporated in the relatively fresh (salinity ~32-33) Pacific Ocean waters that are transported north through the Bering Strait relative to deep Atlantic salinity in the Arctic Ocean (salinity ~34.8).

Closure of the Bering Strait caused Mid-Pleistocene Transition cooling [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 The causes of Mid-Pleistocene Transition global cooling 1 million years ago are still unknown. Here, the authors find the subarctic North Pacific became stratified during these glaciations due to closure of the Bering Strait, which would have removed CO2

Post-glacial flooding of the Bering Land Bridge dated to 11 cal ka BP based on new geophysical and sediment records [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2017 The Bering Strait connects the Arctic and Pacific oceans and separates the North American and Asian landmasses. The presently shallow ( ∼ 53 m) strait was exposed during the sea level lowstand of the last glacial period, which permitted human ...

Seasonal distribution of short-tailed shearwaters and their prey in the Bering and Chukchi seas [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 The short-tailed shearwater (Ardenna tenuirostris) is one of the abundant marine top predators in the Pacific; this seabird spends its non-breeding period in the northern North Pacific during May–October and many visit the southern Chukchi Sea in August ...

Freshwater routing in eddy-permitting simulations of the last deglacial: the impact of realistic freshwater discharge [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 Freshwater, in the form of glacial runoff, is hypothesized to play a critical role in centennial- to millennial-scale climate variability, such as the Younger Dryas and Dansgaard–Oeschger events, but this relationship is not straightforward.

The First Scientific Expeditions to the Bering Strait and to the Russian Colonies in America
Арктика и Север, 2022 Based on the geographical atlases of the 16th century, the German scientist G. Leibniz proposed to Peter I a project aimed at discovering a strait between Asia and America, studying the Earth’s magnetic field, cartographic and other research in Russia ...

A Review of Arctic–Subarctic Ocean Linkages: Past Changes, Mechanisms, and Future Projections
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2023 Arctic Ocean gateway fluxes play a crucial role in linking the Arctic with the global ocean and affecting climate and marine ecosystems. We reviewed past studies on Arctic–Subarctic ocean linkages and examined their changes and driving mechanisms.
