Summary

Changes in Arctic coastal ecosystems in response to global warming may be some of the most severe on the planet. A better understanding and analysis of the rates at which these changes are expected to occur over the coming decades is crucial in order to delineate high-priority areas that are likely to be affected by climate changes. The data provided in this release are part of a study that assessed the likelihood of changes to a barrier island – lagoon systems in response to projected changes in atmospheric and oceanographic forcing associated with Arctic warming. Arey Lagoon and the surrounding area near Barter Island, Alaska, were focused upon as part of this pilot study. The study investigates the dominance and relative importance [...]

Purpose

Data were obtained to provide inputs and validation data for a numerical model, and additionally to provide baseline environmental data previously not available. Numerical modeling was done to assess potential changes in oceanographic conditions along the Arctic coast and how these may impact erosion and habitats.
