	The Bering Sea: Seasons and Cycles of Change
		The Chukchi Sea is the northern part of the Bering Sea, lying north and south of the Bering Strait, the narrow passage of water between Alaska and Siberia.
		The basics: The Bering Sea is a polar sea, lying north of the Aleutian Island chain, between the state of Alaska and the northeastern section of Siberia, and bounded to the southwest by the northern Kamchatka Peninsula.
		Sea urchins feed on kelp, so the kelp forests in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea were overgrazed, which affected all of the organisms associated with the kelp, including seabirds like puffins and kittiwakes.

		WPUE in the southern Chukchi Sea was highest in block 23 (12.3) in October and block 22 (6.4) in September.
		The southern Chukchi and northern Bering seas are not important areas of offshore oil exploration and development, a factor greatly influencing the degree of interest and funding available for biological studies in the region.

		The Chukchi and Beaufort seas are off the north coast of Alaska in the Arctic Ocean proper; the Bering Sea is subarctic, located between Siberia and Alaska soup of the Bering Strait and north of the Aleutian Island chain.
		Matthew, Nun~vak, and the Pribilof islands are in the eastern Bering Sea shelf.
		Finally, winter conditions in the Chukchi and Beautort seas produce fast ice along Be coast that interacts with the offshore open Arctic Ocean current and wind-driven free-floating sea ice to cause an extensive, somewhat predictable, system of flaw leads and polynyas off the Chukchi and Beautort coasts eastward to Be Canadian Archipelago.

		Their name was given to them by Russians, who also bestowed it on the Chukchi Peninsula, Chukchi Sea, Chukchi Autonomous Area, and the Chukchi District, which faces Alaska across Bering Strait.
		Anthropologists trace their origin to the ancient residents of interior and coastal Siberia, around the northern Okhotsk Sea, that is, about a thousand miles from Bering Strait.
		Their closest kin are the Koryak people of northern Kamchatka, with whom the Chukchi share similarities in language beliefs, and historical traditions.

		Because natural microwave radiation emitted from the earth is affected differently by the presence of sea water and ice, it can be used to determine the extent of the polar ice cover, as well as other surface properties.

	Marine Climate and Relative Sea Level Across Central Beringia
		During the last glacial maximum sea level was lowered by ~125m.The size of Beringia increased dramatically, and the flow of fresher, nutrient rich Pacific water into the Chukchi Sea was cut off due to the resulting emergence of the Bering Strait.
		This lack of understanding is partly due to the fact that relative sea level in Beringia is likely to have differed from eustatic sea level as a result of tectonic and possible glacio-eustatic effects.
		Yet the history of these variables in the Bering and the Chukchi Seas is not known well enough to integrate with the evidence for terrestrial climate change.

	Chukchi sales possible - July 17, 2005 - Petroleum News
		John Goll, Alaska regional director for the U.S. Minerals Management Service, told Petroleum News July 12 that MMS is thinking of holding regular Chukchi Sea lease sales in response to increasing industry interest in the area.
		And Shell’s purchase of swathes of leases well north of the coastline in the March 2005 Beaufort Sea lease sale may be another indicator of a resurgence of industry interest in the offshore Arctic areas of Alaska.
		The corresponding estimates for the Chukchi Sea are 15 billion barrels of oil and 60 trillion cubic feet of gas.

		Stationary observations began in the Kara Sea (Dickson Island) in 1933, in the Laptev Sea (Tiksi Bay) in 1934, in the Chukchi Sea (Cape Schmidt) in 1935, and in the East- Siberian Sea (Ambarchik Bay) in 1939.
		Only 30-40 years ago, the sea level station benchmarks were related to the Baltic System (Kronshtadt gauge) using geodetic methods.
		The mean monthly sea level data based on four measurements per day are very close to the observations with 1-hour interval.
