Scaling observations of surface waves in the Beaufort Sea by Madison Smith, Jim Thomson

“…The wave field in the Beaufort Sea is thus a function of the sea ice both locally, where wave growth primarily occurs in the open water between floes, and regionally, where the ice edge may provide a more classic fetch limitation. …”

Climate change and ice hazards in the Beaufort Sea by D. G. Barber, G. McCullough, D. Babb, A. S. Komarov, L. M. Candlish, J.V. Lukovich, M. Asplin, S. Prinsenberg, I. Dmitrenko, S. Rysgaard

“…Here we show that hazardous ice features remain a threat to stationary and mobile infrastructure in the southern Beaufort Sea. With the opening up of the ice pack, forecasting of high-frequency oscillations or local eddy-driven ice motion will be a much more complex task than modeling average ice circulation. …”

Remote Sensing of Ice Dynamics in the Beaufort Sea by Flores, Matthew A.

“…Arctic summer sea ice extent has undergone dramatic declines over the past several decades, particularly in the Beaufort Sea. The comprehension of the sea ice decline requires an understanding of the annual sea ice retreat during the summer melt season. …”

Inorganic carbon fluxes on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea by J. Mol, H. Thomas, P. G. Myers, X. Hu, A. Mucci

“…The Mackenzie Shelf in the southeastern Beaufort Sea is a region that has experienced large changes in the past several decades as warming, sea-ice loss, and increased river discharge have altered carbon cycling. …”

Photoproduction of ammonium in the southeastern Beaufort Sea and its biogeochemical implications by H. Xie, S. Bélanger, G. Song, R. Benner, A. Taalba, M. Blais, J.-É. Tremblay, M. Babin

“…Photoammonification is thus a significant nitrogen cycling term and may fuel previously unrecognized autotrophic and heterotrophic production pathways in the surface SE Beaufort Sea.…”

Floating microplastic inventories in the southern Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean by Takahito Ikenoue, Ryota Nakajima, Pravakar Mishra, Eswara Venkatesaperumal Ramasamy, Amane Fujiwara, Shigeto Nishino, Akihiko Murata, Eiji Watanabe, Motoyo Itoh

“…However, quantitative data on microplastics are very limited in the Beaufort Sea, which is covered by sea ice for most of the year, even in summer. …”

Field measurement of local ice pressures on the ARAON in the Beaufort Sea by Lee Tak-Kee, Lee Jong-Hyun, Kim Heungsub, Rim Chae Whan

“…This study conducted four field measurements of local ice pressure during the icebreaking voyage of the icebreaking research vessel “ARAON” in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas from July to August of 2010. For measurements, 14 strain gauges, including 8 strain gauge rosettes, were set on the bow of the port side. …”

Bowhead whales overwinter in the Amundsen Gulf and Eastern Beaufort Sea by S. J. Insley, W. D. Halliday, X. Mouy, N. Diogou

“…Here, through a network of underwater passive acoustic recorders, we document the first known occurrence of bowheads overwintering in what is normally their summer foraging grounds in the Amundsen Gulf and eastern Beaufort Sea. The underlying question is whether this is the leading edge of a phenological shift in a species' migratory behaviour in an environment undergoing dramatic shifts due to climate change.…”

Temporal and spatial characteristics of the Beaufort Sea ambient noise environment by Chen, R., Schmidt, H.

“…Underwater ambient noise from the Beaufort Sea, collected in March 2016, is analyzed to investigate the effect that environmental changes in the region have on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the ice-generated ambient noise. …”

Biogeography and ecology of Ostracoda in the U.S. northern Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas. by Laura Gemery, Thomas M Cronin, Lee W Cooper, Harry J Dowsett, Jacqueline M Grebmeier

“…In this study, we examined benthic ostracodes from nearly 300 surface sediment samples, >34,000 specimens, from three regions-the northern Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas-to establish species' ecology and distribution. …”

Variability in terrestrial characteristics and erosion rates on the Alaskan Beaufort Sea coast by Anastasia Piliouras, Benjamin M Jones, Tabatha Clevenger, Ann E Gibbs, Joel C Rowland

“…Using existing datasets from the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast and a hierarchical clustering algorithm, we developed a set of 16 coastal typologies that captures the defining characteristics of environments susceptible to coastal erosion. …”

Survival and abundance of polar bears in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea, 2001–2016 by Jeffrey F. Bromaghin, David C. Douglas, George M. Durner, Kristin S. Simac, Todd C. Atwood

“…Knowledge of polar bear response to environmental change is necessary to understand ecosystem dynamics and inform conservation decisions. In the southern Beaufort Sea (SBS) of Alaska and western Canada, sea ice extent has declined since satellite observations began in 1979 and available evidence suggests that the carrying capacity of the SBS for polar bears has trended lower for nearly two decades. …”

Spatial and temporal harvest risk to polar bears in the Canadian Beaufort Sea by Stephen G. Hamilton, Erin M. Henderson, Andrew E. Derocher

“…With sea ice predicted to decline in the future, we suggest that polar bears in the Beaufort Sea may become more concentrated into areas of higher harvest risk.…”

Effects of Vertical Water Mass Segregation on Bacterial Community Structure in the Beaufort Sea by Yunyun Fu, Richard B. Rivkin, Andrew S. Lang

“…In this study, we characterized the bacterial community compositions at different depths in both coastal, freshwater-influenced, and pelagic, sea-ice-covered locations in the Beaufort Sea in the western Canadian Arctic Ocean. The environmental factors controlling the bacterial community composition and diversity were investigated. …”
