Title: Carbon export in the Eastern Bering Sea water column (B56)

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: digital

Description:

Abstract:

As part of our process-oriented field study in the eastern Bering Sea, the following specific hypothesis is proposed: Quantify the export flux of organic carbon associated with MIZ and open-water blooms in deeper waters (outer-shelf/slope), and link carbon export to primary production and benthic oxygen utilization to assess the efficiency of pelagic-benthic coupling associated with seasonal and interannual changes in sea ice extent. The NPRB funds allowed us to quantify seasonal and interannual changes in POC export under MIZ and open water conditions in the outer-shelf waters using both 234Th/238U disequilibrium and floating sediment trap techniques

Purpose:

To assess the efficiency of pelagic-benthic coupling associated with seasonal and interannual changes in sea ice extent.
