Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Dynamics (ASCII) [Dunton, K.]
Summary
Biological material from three levels in the ocean (POM, plankton, benthos) was collected to determine the natural abundance of d13C and d15N. Isotope data were used to trace the advection of northward flowing organic material through the Bering Strait into the Chukchi and Bering Seas. Isotope signatures also provided information about the trophic links between pelagic and benthic components of the shelf and slope within the study area.
