Chukchi Offshore Monitoring in Drilling Area (COMIDA)
The November 2006 COMIDA workshop described the importance of benthos and chemical monitoring to evaluate the health of the Chukchi ecosystem. The BOEM Scientific Committee (SC)... -
Surface Current Circulation High Frequency (HF) Radar Mapping in the Chukchi Sea (AK-09-06)
The shallow (50 m) Chukchi shelf extends 800 km northward from Bering Strait to the shelfbreak along the 200 m isobath. The Chukchi Sea flow field is influenced by the winds;... -
Satellite-Tracked Drifter Measurements in the Northeast Chukchi Sea (AK-08-12-08)
This study was initiated to better understand the surface circulation in the Chukchi Sea, which is not well-measured by subsurface moorings. The overall goal of this program was... -
Dispersal Patterns and Summer Ocean Distribution of Adult Dolly Varden from the Wulik River, Alaska, Evaluated Using Satellite Telemetry (AK-08-12)
In northwest Alaska near the Chukchi Sea, Dolly Varden charr Salvelinus malma is highly valued as a subsistence fish and local residents harvest thousands of these fish each... -
Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program: Benthic
Primary production reaching the sea floor is consumed by benthic organisms (animals living in or closely associated with sediments) allowing these communities to flourish in the... -
Circulation, Cross-shelf Exchange, Sea Ice, and Marine Mammal Habitats on the Alaskan Beaufort Sea Shelf
The team proposes to carry out a joint physical/biological program to enhance the understanding of how the ABS atmosphere/ice/ocean/marine-mammal system works and what some of... -
Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) is a study describing the ongoing climate change in the Arctic and its consequences: rising temperatures, loss of sea ice,... -
Synthesis and Scaling of Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Data on the North Slope and Coastal Zone of Alaska
Understanding land-ocean-atmosphere coupling is essential for developing an integrated view of the arctic system, and is a key component of the Study of the Northern Alaska... -
An interdisciplinary monitoring mooring in the western Arctic boundary current: Climatic forcing and ecosystem response
This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This grant supports the deployment of a single, strategically placed mooring in... -
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ANALYSIS OF COASTAL EROSION ALONG THE CHUKCHI COAST AT BARROW, ALASKA
A variety of empirical and modeling approaches are being taken to assess the history and risk of erosion and flooding along the Chukchi Sea coast near Barrow, Alaska. Part of a... -
Comprehensive Modeling Approach Towards Understanding and Prediction of the Alaskan Coastal System Response to Changes in an Ice diminished Arctic
The proposed research combines state-of-the-art regional modeling of sea ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystem to provide a system approach to advance the knowledge and... -
Toward a predictive model of Arctic coastal retreat in a warming climate, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
The team proposes a three-year project to develop predictive models of coastal erosion and sediment transport along the Alaskan Beaufort Sea coast. This project has three... -
Arctic Ecosystem Integrated Survey
The School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, has applied to the CCIAP for $3 million to conduct an Arctic Ecosystem Integrated Survey. The... -
Assessing ice seal abundance and sea-ice characteristics
Use of UAS for assessment of both ice seal density and sea ice conditions. Refinement of techniques for automation of detecting & counting seals in large streams of digital... -
International Arctic Buoy Programme
The participants of the IABP work together to maintain a network of drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean to provide meteorological and oceanographic data for real-time operational... -
Distributed Biological Observatory
The “Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO)” is envisioned as a change detection array along a latitudinal gradient extending from the northern Bering Sea to the Barrow Arc... -
Arctic Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA)
The Environmental Response Management Application® (ERMA) is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tool that assists both emergency responders and environmental... -
Bering-Aleutian salmon international survey (BASIS): Chukchi Sea Survey
Study the effects of climate change (loss of sea ice) on the oceanography and pelagic/benthic fish communities. No survey planned in 2010; hopes for survey in 2011 -
Chukchi Sea and Western Beaufort Sea Surface Currents
This BOEM sponsored project (AK NSL 12-03) studied the physical oceanography of the NE Chukchi shelf and circulation between the northeast Chukchi and the western Beaufort...
