Abstract The Arctic Ocean is a fundamental node in the global hydrological cycle and the
ocean's thermohaline circulation. We here assess the system's key functions and …

Global warming drives changes in oceanographic conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the
adjacent continental slopes. This may result in favourable conditions for increased biological …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

The highly productive northern Bering and Chukchi marine shelf ecosystem has long been
dominated by strong seasonality in sea-ice and water temperatures. Extremely warm …

A temperature and salinity hydrographic profile climatology is assembled, evaluated for data
quality, and analyzed to assess changes of the Bering and Chukchi Sea continental shelves …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Survey data from the northern Bering and Chukchi sea continental shelves in August–
September 2012 and 2013 reveal inter-annual differences in the spatial structure of water …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) in the Arctic have raised increasing concern, but knowledge on
MP contamination in benthic organisms from Arctic shelf regions, eg, the Chukchi Sea is still …

Changes in gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) phenology and distribution are related to
observed and hypothesized prey availability, bottom water temperature, salinity, sea ice …

Migrations are often influenced by seasonal environmental gradients that are increasingly
being altered by climate change. The consequences of rapid changes in Arctic sea ice have …
