Climate variability and change are expected to influence the seasonal cycle in North Pacific sub-arctic marine ecosystems. The hypothesis that timing of nesting and productivity of piscivorous seabirds [kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla and... more
The ice-edge region of the southeast Bering Sea was studied in terms of the hydrographic regime, phytoplankton biomass, and primary productivity during the springs of 1975 through 1977. The results showed that a phytoplankton bloom occurs... more
Water column pH and carbonate mineral saturation states were calculated from dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity data collected over the eastern Bering Sea shelf in the spring and summer of 2008. The saturation states... more
Modelled connectivity between Walleye Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) spawning and age-0 nursery areas in warm and cold years with implications for juvenile survival. Adult and early life stage distributions of the commercially important... more
Calls from North Pacific right whales ( Eubalaena,japonica) were recorded in the eastern Bering Sea during a visual and acoustic survey aboard the US Coast Guard buoy tender Sweetbrier, in July 1999. Calls were commonly detected to 20km,... more
To help define areas and ecological parameters critical to the survival and recovery of the remnant population of North Pacific right whales, habitat use was investigated by examining all available sighting and catch records in the... more
Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is the target of one of the world's largest fisheries and is an important prey species in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) ecosystem. Little is known about the potential effects of fishing on the... more
As one of the major oceanic sinks of anthropogenic CO2, the Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the climate system. However, due to the scarcity of observations, little is known about physical and biological processes that control... more
The presence or absence of sea-ice over the Bering Sea influences the productivity of its waters as well as the regional climate of Beringia. Not only is the extent and distribution of sea-ice an important climate system feedback because... more
