Introducing the Bering Strait Research Consortium: coordination and integration Jessica Cherry, Peter Schweitzer,

Mission The Bering Strait Research Consortium, otherwise known as BSRC, is a voluntary group of academic, government, private sector, and other researchers who are interested in better coordinating data and research in the Bering Strait Region, as well as improving the communication of research results to the public and among themselves. Projects coordinated by BSRC encompass physical, biological, and human observations, including indigenous knowledge of the society, culture, land, ocean and atmosphere. Currently our office is based out of Fairbanks, Alaska, but we are looking to establish a home near the Bering Strait in Nome, Alaska.

National Priority Area

Increased Ship Traffic

Partners & ‘Board members’ University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Northwest Campus, the International Arctic Research Center, Kawerak Native Corp, Nome Eskimo Community, National Park Service. Potential: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (new Western LCC)

Web Portal:

Plan for improved communication

Ship activity, moored + cabled Observatories Transect lines proposed to be occupied by ships transiting Bering Strait, including research vessels of Canada, China, Korea, the United States and Russia

Hundreds of Projects Including Arctic Water Resources Vulnerability Index (Kliskey, Alessa, et al.) Bering Strait Freshwater Ethnography (Schweitzer, Yamin- Pasternak, et al.) Climate monitoring (Cherry, NPS, etc) Village-based Permafrost Monitoring (Yoshikawa) State of the Permafrost (Romanovsky, Grosse, Marchenko, B. Jones, et al.) Sea Ice Monitoring (Eicken) Paleohydrology from Peat Cores (M. Jones, NPS) Ungulate research (Finstad, Ihl, Kawerak Reindeer herders assoc.) Physical and biological oceanography (Cooper, Grebmaier, Woodgate, Weingartner, etc) Fire/permafrost interactions (JAMSTEC/JAXA)

Seward Peninsula Hydrometeorological Station Network: Inherited from ATLAS project, 5 full met towers w/shallow boreholes & snow sensors, 2 repeater met towers, 2 hydrologic stations, 2 mothballed hydrologic stations, 6 partner permafrost stations (Romanovsky group), 2 partner DOT stations (GWS)

EPSCoR Pilot Project/Now NSF Funded Comiso, 2006 Attributing the source of observed temperature & precip changes can help determine future impacts

Data Rescue Digitized 1970s NOS aerial photography for use in change detection (SP flight lines) Digitizing early 20 th century daily climate records and mid-late 20 th century water data Assembling station histories We are hoping to produced a gridded product (this part unfunded) Supported by UAF’s Nx2020 project (Thanks, Hajo!)

Future for BSRC Increase community participation in BSRC, particularly on Russian side Make it a community resource Enhance website content Find funding for physical space and a staff Use BSRC as an instrument for coordination and integration
