Risk of Ship Strike and Noise Pollution to Cetaceans in the Bering Strait
… Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait, a bottleneck region between Alaska and Russia. This same Strait is important habitat for cetaceans, including cetaceans migrating to northern feeding grounds, and cetaceans that remain in the Arctic region year-round. The overlap …

The Inhabited Arctic: Architecture, Time, and the Making of the Past in the Bering Strait (1760–1980)
… of exchange. This dissertation, centered on the Bering Sea and its adjacent geographies of eastern Siberia and Arctic North America, tells the story of how imperial upheaval and the rooting of colonial projects in the ground sparked a deliberate historiographic project to write the Arctic’s deep …

The Strait Defense: A Case Study Comparison of Global Straits
… revisit its security posture in and around the Bering Strait. At least five different grand strategies are potentially relevant in addressing this question. By comparing the suggestions of these leading grand strategy approaches to what has actually been implemented by the United States in the …

Collinear analysis of altimeter data in the Bering Sea
… information on the circulation pattern in the Bering Sea. Seventy subtracks from both ascending and descending orbits, with as many as 35 repeat cycles along each subtrack, were analyzed. Orbit errors were removed from the height data using a least-squares fit to a cubic polynomial, weighted by …

Life cycle evolution and systematics of Campanulariid hydrozoans
… are calibrated against the opening of the Bering Strait. Substitution rates are faster than in anthozoans and comparable to non-cnidarian invertebrates. Comparison of Pacific and Atlantic sequences suggests cryptic species exist. Finally, hydroids in New Brunswick, Canada and Iceland may …

Some implications in international law of the Soviet proposal to open the northern sea royte to transnational comercial traffic; transit passage in the Soviet Arctic straits
… Soviet Union, from the Norwegian frontier to the Bering Strait. The goal is to operate the route on a year-round basis, offering it to commercial shippers as a substantially shorter alternative route from northern Europe to the Pacific Ocean in the hope of raising hard currency in exchange for …

Interannual variability of the Pacific Water boundary current in the Beaufort Sea
… the fluxes of mass, heat, and freshwater through Bering Strait have increased over the same time period, this raises the question as to the fate of the Pacific water during recent years and its impacts. We present evidence that more heat has been fluxed directly into the interior basin from Barrow …

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Host: Fleas and the History of Pikas in North America
… presence of this species on both sides of the Bering Strait is suggestive of late Pleistocene contact between <em>O. collaris</em> and <em>O. hyperborea</em>, supporting previous findings from pika pinworms.</p>

Phosphorus Distribution and Partitioning In the Chukchi Sea During Summer 2010
… in the Pacific Ocean move through the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea into the Arctic Ocean. Soluble reactive P (SRP) concentrations increase by 0.6 M northwards while dissolved organic P (DOP) concentrations decrease by 0.3 M. However, total P concentrations are similar north (1.34 …

Bio-Optical Properties of the Arctic Waters: Empirical and Theoretical Observations
… especially persistent immediately north of the Bering Strait in nutrient-rich Anadyr water and in some fronts. Chlorophyll concentrations increased from April to reach a maximum value in spring or summer depending on location. Large interannual variability of ice cover and phytoplankton …

The Effect of Arctic River Hydrological Cycles on Arctic Ocean Circulation
… as point and non-point runoff; influx through Bering, Fram and/or other straits; permafrost erosion; precipitation; formation and melting of glacial and sea ice shelf mixing and efflux through Fram Strait and the Canadian Archipelago. With newly acquired data, the annual runoff discharge cycle …

Dynamics and impacts of toxic Alexandrium catenella blooms in the Pacific Arctic
… real-time as it progressed northward through the Bering Strait region. The high resolution at which this bloom was observed provided the opportunity to initiate community event response, as well investigate the hydrodynamic drivers contributing to the extraordinary density, scale, and toxicity of …

Detecting and Modeling Landfast Ice in the Alaskan Bering Sea
… ecology, geomorphology, and climatology of the Bering Sea. In this region's coastal zones, sea ice becomes locked into a stationary position against the coastlines to become landfast ice, which influences bioegophysical processes in the region, as well as exchanges of energy and matter among …

Changes in shelf waters due to air-sea fluxes and their influence on the Arctic Ocean circulation as simulated in the OCCAM global ocean model
… the Chukchi Sea shelf, which originates from the Bering Strait Outflow. There are signs that these dense waters provide forcing for eddies seen off North Alaska.<br/>A new theory is presented for calculating the Available Potential Energy (APE) on the continental shelves for driving local currents …

Russian Migration to the United States
