• Continuing a 28-year time series of temperature and salinity variability on the Gulf of Alaska. The goal is to quantify this variability and determine its causes.
• Understanding the seasonal variations in the physical environment of the Gulf of Alaska shelf as part of the US GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics) Program The basis of many of the more productive shelves in the global ocean is upwelling of nutrient rich sub-surface water into the surface layers of the ocean. In contrast, the Gulf of Alaska is biologically productive but is a downwelling shelf that receives an enormous, nutrient-poor coastal freshwater discharge. Hence, the basis for this productivity is not understood. This research is a multi-year and multi-investigator effort to examine the physical basis for this production in terms of nutrient availability, primary and secondary production and distribution, and the success of young-of-the year salmon. The study involves bi-monthly cruises across this shelf to sample temperature, salinity, nutrients, phyoplankton, zooplankton, and juvenile salmon.
