Apr 2, 2013 | Gulf of Alaska Project | 0 comments

By Morgan Ostendorf, University of Washington, on the vessel Oscar Dyson

Everyone has made it to Seward safe and sound for the Gulf of Alaska Project’s Spring cruise on the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. Some of us were a little worried that we weren’t going to make it when the pilot of our airplane announced that we were going to have to land in Fairbanks and take a bus down to Anchorage because of ash coming from a volcano. Thankfully it was just an April Fools joke.

At the moment, almost everything has been loaded onto the ship and we are in the process of setting up lab spaces and tying everything down. We plan to depart Thursday for our research area off southeast Alaska. So far the weather has been beautiful and I’m hoping that the weather continues to cooperate.

    INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM PROGRAMS
    SCIENCE FOUNDATION

    NPRB maintains scientific programs designed to address pressing fishery management issues and Alaska marine ecosystem information needs.

    CORE PROGRAM

    NPRB supports a competitive, peer-reviewed annual request for proposal (RFP) process dedicated to marine research in Alaskan waters.

    The Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Reserach Program looked at how physical changes in the ocean influence the flow of energy through the marine food web in the Bering Strait, Chukchi Sea, and western Beaufort Sea from 2017-2021.

    OUTREACH PROGRAM

    Supporting science communication, engagement, outreach, and education initiatives for all our research programs.

    LONG-TERM MONITORING

    This program supports new or existing time-series research that enhance the ability to understand the current state of marine ecosystems.

    The Bering Sea Project, a partnership between the North Pacific Research Board and the National Science Foundation, sought to understand the impacts of climate change and dynamic sea ice cover on the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem.

    INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM RESEARCH

    These are large-scale interdisciplinary ecosystem-based programs, requiring multiple agency coordination, collaboration, and investigation.

    GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH AWARDS

    NPRB supports next generation scientists, researchers, and resource managers to further their studies in relevant fields of marine science and to our mission.

    The Gulf of Alaska Project tested three main hypotheses about the survival and recruitment of five focal groundfish species (Pacific cod, Pacific ocean perch, walleye pollock, arrowtooth flounder, sablefish) during their first year of life.
