USGS Alaska Science Center - Polar Bear Research Program, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2024, Estimated post-emergence period for denning polar bears of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7G73BTD.

Summary

These data are estimates of den emergence date, den site departure dates, and duration at den sites as well as post-emergence observations for female polar bears sampled in the southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation 1985-2016 and the Chukchi Sea subpopulation 2008-2017. The data were used to better understand the importance of time spent at the den site post-emergence. Emergence dates and departure dates were determined using collar temperature sensor data.
