  East Siberian Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Siberian Sea (Russian: Восто́чно-Сиби́рское мо́ре) is a marginal sea in the Arctic Ocean.
It is located between the Arctic Cape in the North, the coast of Siberia in the South, the New Siberian Islands in the West and Wrangel Island in the East, bordering on the Laptev Sea and Chukchi Sea.
In 1648 Semyon Dezhnev and Fedot Alekseev sailed the coast from the Kolyma to river Anadyr and Bering Strait.

 Climate Change and Arctic Sea Ice
The Arctic's sea ice is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including polar bears, arctic foxes, seals, walruses, and whales, fish species such as Arctic cod and char, and sea birds such as guillemots, auks, and eiders.
The sea ice is also used as an important transportation route by caribou and muskox and a traditional hunting ground for the Inuit, that remarkable indigenous culture of the far north.
Many species of seal are ice-dependent, including the spotted seal, which in the Bering Sea breeds exclusively at the ice edge in spring; the harp seal, which lives at the ice edge all year; the ringed seal, which give birth to and nurse their pups on sea ice; the ribbon seal and the bearded seal.

 Long-term ice variability in arctic marginal seas
In this study, we use August ice extent (1900-2000) and fast-ice thickness (1936-2000, motionless sea ice anchored to the sea floor and/or the shore) measurements from five locations in the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, and Chukchi seas (Figure 1).
In the Kara Sea, which is closer to the North Atlantic, the LFO signature is most pronounced (Figures 2, 3).
In the Kara and Chukchi seas trends are positive, and in the Laptev and East Siberian seas trends are negative.

 Geology of the East Siberian Sea, Russian Arctic, from seismic images: Structures, evolution, and implications for the ...
The East Siberian Shelf is best described as an epicontinental platform that synsedimentarily subsided continuously since Late Cretaceous times with stronger subsidence to the northeast, resulting in the formation of a large depocenter.
The general dip of the platform of the East Siberian Shelf toward the northeast may be explained by dip-slip movements along a major transform fault that is proposed by the rotation model for the opening of the Amerasia Basin.

Marginal seas in the Pacific sector of the Arctic, has never been investigated by modern techniques despite the progress that has been made in new technologies useful for measuring ocean characteristics of interest.
In this project we focus on poorly explored areas located west from the U.S.-Russia boundary, because it is impossible to understand and model the water and chemicals transport between the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans using the geographically bounded datasets.
This process-oriented observational project is a vital component for modeling the rate of energy, water, and CNP exchange between the Pacific Ocean, land and arctic shelves and the Arctic Basin in order to clarify mechanisms of the arctic halocline formation in the most unexplored area of the Arctic Ocean.
