We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

Zooplankton are critical to energy transfer between higher and lower trophic levels in the
eastern Bering Sea ecosystem. Previous studies from the southeastern Bering Sea shelf …

We synthesize recent research on variation in annual production of copepods (Calanus
spp.), euphausiids (Thysanoessa spp.), and juvenile walleye pollock (Gadus …

Characterizing spatial structure and delineating meaningful spatial boundaries have useful
applications to understanding regional dynamics in marine systems, and are integral to …

The concepts of age, residence time, exposure time and influence time provide space and
time dependent quantitative measures of the rate at which water masses and pollutants …

Ocean currents, water masses, and seasonal sea ice formation contribute to determining
relationships among the biota of the Bering and Chukchi seas. The Bering Sea …

Abstract Interpretation of zooplankton field observations on the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) shelf is
complicated by the complex physical environment of currents, eddies and meanders which …

Little is known about the mechanism of transport that enables age-0 sablefish (Anoplopoma
fimbria) to reach suitable nursery sites from spawning locations far offshore, or the strength …

Changing environmental conditions in the Pacific Arctic are expected to affect ice-adapted
marine food webs. As such, understanding ringed seal (Pusa hispida) dive and haul-out …

A number of marine species are showing poleward shifts in their distributions in response to
climate warming. Three albatross species frequent the Bering Sea, the Laysan (Phoebastria …
