Objective (see text for complete details):
|
Monitor subsurface water mass flowing out of the Bering Sea to the Pacific; could expand vertical extent of reconstruction of subsurface water mass conditions.
Reconstruct Pliocene–Pleistocene high-resolution paleoceanography and investigate Bering/Arctic Gateway history and sea ice and water mass distribution in the northeast region.
