Major changes to Arctic marine ecosystems have resulted in longer growing seasons with increased phytoplankton production over larger areas. In the Chukchi Sea, the high productivity fuels intense benthic denitrification creating a nitrogen (N) deficit ...

Quantifying Under‐Ice Phytoplankton Blooms in the Changing Arctic and Southern Oceans
Abstract Historically, polar marine phytoplankton were thought to primarily grow after the seasonal breakup of sea ice, when there is plentiful light available in the surface ocean. However, observations of substantial productivity under sea ice has called this assumption into question.

Spotted Seals, Phoca largha, in Alaska [PDF]
The worldwide literature on management of spotted seals, Phoca largha, was reviewed and updated, and aerial surveys weref lown in 1992 and 1993 to determine the species' distribution and abundance in U.S. waters.

Oceanic Routing of Wind-Sourced Energy Along the Arctic Continental Shelves
Data from coastal tide gauges, oceanographic moorings, and a numerical model show that Arctic storm surges force continental shelf waves (CSWs) that dynamically link the circumpolar Arctic continental shelf system. These trains of barotropic disturbances

Increased Arctic Sea‐Ice Variability Is Associated With Amplified Air‐Sea Heat Fluxes
Abstract While the role of long‐term sea ice decline in shaping Arctic climate change is well‐established, the contribution of short‐term sea‐ice variability remains insufficiently explored. Here we present observational evidence that since 2007, sea ice fluctuations in Arctic marginal ice zone have remained at a high level.

Nitrate Distribution in Pacific Winter Water Along the Northern Edge of the Chukchi Sea
Abstract Nutrient‐rich, Pacific‐origin winter water (PWW) is a primary source of nitrate for the western Arctic Ocean, spurring primary production at the base of the food web. This cold water exits the Chukchi Sea shelf via Herald Canyon and Barrow Canyon, which feed the eastward‐flowing Chukchi Shelfbreak Jet (CSJ) and the westward‐flowing Chukchi ...

Structure, inter-annual variability, and long-term change in zooplankton communities of the Chukchi Sea [PDF]
Thesis (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2016The Chukchi Sea is a complex transition zone between the Pacific and Arctic Oceans that has been experiencing dramatic change in recent decades due to shifting sea ice cover and increasing temperatures ...
