Recent changes in the timing of sea ice formation and retreat, along with increasing
seawater temperatures, are driving shifts in marine species composition that may signal …

Abstract The northern Bering and Chukchi Seas are areas in the Pacific Arctic characterized
by high northward advection of Pacific Ocean water, with seasonal variability in sea ice …

Abstract The Humboldt Current System (HCS) is one of the most productive marine
ecosystems on earth. It extends along the west coast of South America from southern Chile …

The shallow continental shelves and slope of the Amerasian Arctic are strongly influenced
by nutrient-rich Pacific waters advected over the shelves from the northern Bering Sea into …

Abstract In the Arctic Ocean, phytoplankton blooms on continental shelves are often limited
by light availability, and are therefore thought to be restricted to waters free of sea ice …

Projections of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) sea ice habitat distribution in the polar basin
during the 21st century were developed to understand the consequences of anticipated sea …

Abstract The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly due to a
warming Arctic climate with commensurate reductions in sea ice extent and thickness. This …

In the spring and summer of 2002 primary production in the Chukchi Sea was measured,
using 14C uptake experiments. Our cruise track encompassed the shelf and continental …

Tight coupling between pelagic and benthic communities is accepted as a general principle
on Arctic shelves. Whereas this paradigm has been useful for guiding ecological research, it …

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