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).

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 ...

Evolution of the Okvik/Old Bering Sea culture of the Bering Strait as a major transition. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Abstract Great transitions are thought to embody major shifts in locus of selection, labour diversification and communication systems. Such expectations are relevant for biological and cultural systems as decades of research has demonstrated similar dynamics within the evolution of culture.

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 ...
