Seismicity of the Bering Strait region: Evidence for a Bering block

Geology, 1997
Newly compiled Russian and U.S. seismological data support an independent Bering block in motion relative to the North American plate. This motion is likely to be driven by the westward extrusion of southwestern Alaska, resulting from compression in southern Alaska due to subduction of the Pacific plate and terrane accretion.

The Archeology of Bering Strait

Current Anthropology, 1960
THE Bering Strait region is the traditional gateway to America. Theory has had weary migrants wearing paths across its dried-up floor in glacial times and, later, paddling primitive craft in a determined search for a new world. The archeology of the region steadfastly refuses, however, to divulge the short-term sites of people on the move.

Extended Measurements in Bering Strait

2006
Abstract : We completed seven cruises in Bering Strait and the Chukchi Sea during 1999-2005. Both the shipborne measurements and nearly continuous moored data from 1990-2005 have been processed and archived. In six refereed papers and eleven presentations at national and international meetings, we have quantified the large variability found in the ...
