Creator:: Bruhis, Noa
Abstract:: Regression equations for mean monthly streamflow in watersheds running off into the Gulf of Alaska have been determined. The equations were obtained by regressing observed streamflow at 246 USGS and Environment Canada gaging stations against a number of relevant meteorological and basin physical parameters. Meteorological parameters include mean monthly precipitation,...

Creator:: Favorite, F.
Abstract:: The intensification of cyclonic winds in the Gulf of Alaska during winter belies the relatively constant geostrophic circulation as being indicative of actual flow. In the absence of direct current measurements, effects of various meteorological phenomena have been eliminated from monthly mean sea level measurements over the decade 1950 to...

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...

Creator:: Beamer, Jordan P.
Abstract:: The glaciated coastal mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) provide a model laboratory to explore the challenges of hydrological modeling and study the impact of climate and glacier cover change on regional hydrology. The region is data-sparse and contains a complex assemblage of topography and land...

Creator:: Thompson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: Marine systems undergo changes in community composition over time as a result of a variety of environmental and anthropogenic factors. Understanding these community changes and the factors that drive them is critical for ecosystem management of marine resources. The Gulf of Alaska (GOA) is a large marine ecosystem that includes...

Full Text:: . Title: The Factors Affecting the Diets of Groundfish in the Gulf of Alaska: Ecological and Modeling

Creator:: DiMaria, Ruth A.
Abstract:: Effective and sustainable fisheries management not only depends on identifying and defining stocks (fundamental unit of management), but also on having knowledge of factors influencing the abundance, distribution and connectivity of stocks. Population structure of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the southeastern Bering Sea (EBS) remains unresolved although genetic data...
