Patterns in sea otter resource selection in Kachemak Bay, Alaska
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are known to forage extensively in both rocky and soft-bottom habitats throughout their range in Alaska. Their ability to significantly reduce prey abundance, limit prey size, and consequently alter community structure has been well documented. Much of this research, however, has focused on sea otter interactions with rocky habitats and associated epifaunal invertebr...
متن کاملLa Mixed Sediment Beach Processes : Kachemak Bay , Alaska
Mixed sediment beaches are morphologically distinct from and more complex than either sand or gravel only beaches. Three digital imaging techniques are employed to quantify surficial grain size and bedload sediment transport rates along the mixed sediment beaches of Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Applying digital imaging procedures originally developed for quickly and efficiently quantifying grain sizes...
متن کاملThe Role of Estuarine Hydrodynamics in the Distribution of Kelp Forests in Kachemak Bay, Alaska*
SCHOCH, G.C. and CHENELOT, H., 2004. The Role of Estuarine Hydrodynamics in the Distribution of Kelp Forests in Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Journal of Coastal Research, SI(45), 179–194. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Understanding the circulation and exchange rates of water masses in an estuary is critical to understanding the movement and recruitment patterns of planktonic propagules and...
متن کاملAtmospheric circulation patterns which promote winter Arctic sea ice decline
The impact of winter atmospheric blocking over the Ural Mountains region (UB) coincident with different phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the sea ice variability over the Barents and Kara Seas (BKS) in winter is investigated. It is found that the UB in conjunction with the positive phase of the NAO (NAOþ) leads to the strongest sea ice decline. During this phase composites and t...
متن کاملIce elevations and surface change on the Malaspina Glacier, Alaska
[1] Here we use Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat)-derived elevations and surface characteristics to investigate the Malaspina Glacier of southern Alaska. Although there is significant elevation variability between ICESat tracks on this glacier, we were able to discern general patterns in surface elevation change by using a regional digital elevation model (DEM) as a reference sur...
