Influence of Glacier Run Off on Ecosystem Structure in Gulf of Alaska Fjords 2004-2011
Data Download [1.2MB] | AK Science Portal | Project Site | Date Range: 2004 - 2011Marine ecosystems respond to a range of habitat variability in coastal zones modified by glacial freshwater outflows, biophysical data were collected in three study regions that included four major glacial fjord systems around the Gulf of Alaska. A suite of geographic, oceanographic, nutrient and biological attributes were sampled at these three study regions during peak ice-melt season in summer.
