Abstract Profound sea ice loss is rapidly transforming coupled social-ecological Arctic marine systems. However, explicit impacts to harvesting of traditional resources for coastal Indigenous communities remain largely unquantified, particularly where the primary research questions are posed by community as a result emerging approaches such knowledge co-production. Here, we directly link reduced coverage decreasing opportunities ugruk (bearded seal, Erignathus barbatus ) component...
The first year of life is typically the most critical to a pinniped's survival, especially for Arctic phocids which are weaned at only few weeks age and left locate capture prey on their own. Their seasonal movements habitat selection therefore important factors in survival. During cooperative effort between scientists subsistence hunters October 2004, 2005, 2006, 13 female male young (i.e., <2) bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) were tagged with satellite-linked dive recorders (SDRs)...
Characterizing energy flow and trophic linkages is fundamental to understanding the functioning resilience of Arctic ecosystems under increasing pressure from climate change anthropogenic exploitation. We used carbon nitrogen stable isotopes examine dynamics relative contribution terrestrial organic matter, water column phytoplankton, phytobenthos (benthic micro- macro-autotrophs as well sea ice algae) food webs supporting 45 macroconsumers in three coastal lagoon (Krusenstern, Sisualik,...
There is increasing concern over how Arctic fauna will adapt to climate related changes in sea-ice. We used long-term sighting and genetic data on beluga whales ( Delphinapterus leucas ) conjunction with multi-decadal patterns of sea-ice the Pacific investigate influence spring migration summer residency patterns. Substantial variations conditions were detected across seasons, years sub-regions, revealing ice–ocean dynamics more complex than Arctic-wide trends suggest. This variation...
Objectives. To determine inorganic nutrient and contaminant concentrations in subsistence foods consumed by Alaska Natives, concentration changes related to common preparation methods provide a basic risk-benefit analysis for these foods.Study design. Eleven essential six non-essential elements were measured derived from spotted seals sheefish.Methods. Essential nutrients foodstuffs compared Daily Recommended Intake (DRI) criteria. Non-essential Tolerable Limits (TDIL). These comparisons...

Changing environmental conditions in the Pacific Arctic are expected to affect ice-adapted marine food webs. As such, understanding ringed seal (Pusa hispida) dive and haul-out behavior is vital if how these changes foraging behavior. Working with Alaska Native subsistence hunters, we tagged 14 adult 20 subadult seals satellite-linked data recorders Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, during late-September October 2007–2009. Information about Bering Chukchi seas was collected for 12–297 days. We...
Abstract The inaugural data from the first systematic program of sea-ice observations in Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, 2018 coincided with winter living memory when Sound was not choked ice. following 2018–19 even warmer and characterized by less Here we discuss mass balance landfast ice near (Qikiqtaġruk) during these two anomalously warm winters. We use situ a 1-D thermodynamic model to address three research questions developed partnership an Indigenous Advisory Council. In doing so, improve...
Abstract A central aim of international criminal tribunals since Nuremberg has been to prosecute those most responsible, the ‘big fish’, leaving smaller cases national jurisdictions. The authors, who have both academic backgrounds as well experience prosecuting crimes in and domestic courts, argue that International Criminal Court (ICC) should change course expand its focus include more ‘little fish cases’, bringing overall initiating them quickly. Particular features ICC, namely global...
