Scientists, educators, students, and anyone interested in arctic
research can follow along with researchers at sea aboard the Research
Vessel Thomas G. Thompson through Wednesday, 14 July 2010 on the second
of two spring/summer research cruises in the Bering Sea. Chief scientist
David Shull is reporting from the field through near real-time blogs and
photos posted on the project website at: http://bsierp.nprb.org.
The Bering Sea Project, jointly funded by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), is a
multidisciplinary, $52-million study of the impacts of climate change on
the Bering Sea ecosystem. This project brings together the NSF's Bering
Ecosystem Study (BEST) and the NPRB's Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem
Research Program (BSIERP) to improve understanding of how the Bering Sea
may respond to climate change, especially in light of changing seasonal
sea ice.
