PolarPalooza and the Bering Sea Project
| Bering Sea on the web over the past month |
Bering Sea Project researchers have been featured in short films and podcasts produced by the PolarPalooza program; a selection appears below.
POLAR-PALOOZA is a multimedia initiative to spread the word about science at the Poles. The program is supported by NSF and NASA and involves researchers, Alaska Natives, in-person presentations at science centers and natural history museums, video and audio podcasts, and more.
Find these Bering Sea videos and much more on the PolarPalooza website. They can also be downloaded (as QuickTime/mp4 videos) and viewed as Windows Media or Flash videos.
Alaska Native Thoughts on
Climate Change
This short two-minute video features Perry Pungowiyi from the Native Village of Savoonga on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
He was invited by BEST-BSIERP researcher Jacqueline Grebmeier to observe and participate in some of the research being done during the cruise.
He wants viewers to appreciate that his comments should not be taken as the views of the community of Savoonga. See the video
Welcome Aboard Healy
Welcome aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy and take a guided tour. Healy's primary mission is to support US scientific research.
See what it takes to support cutting-edge science in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, on board a vessel able to voyage around the planet without stopping, and winter over in the Arctic, if required.
Climate-Driven Change in the Northern Bering Sea
BEST-BSIERP researcher Jacqueline Grebmeier was Chief Scientist on board a spring 2008 cruise on the USCGC Healy looked at climate change and its impact on the local marine ecosystem, from the smallest creatures to those farther up the food chain.
Follow along
as NOAA researchers conduct seal census, jumping between ice floes to find seals.
Hear from researchers how a changing environment impacts all the inhabitants of the narrow ocean that stretches between Alaska and Siberia, until now one of the most productive seas in the world, as well as a major fishery.
Meet the inhabitants of this aquatic "neighborhood," as Jackie describes it, and learn what makes it tick ... and change.
