Cross shelf-break exchange is limited by the tendency of geostrophic flow to follow
bathymetric contours, not cross them. However, small scale topography, such as canyons …

Marine pelagic ecosystems present fascinating opportunities for ecological investigation but
pose important methodological challenges for sampling. Active acoustic techniques involve …

Aggregations of zooplankton, micronekton and fish are frequently observed above
seamounts, canyons and shelf breaks. The aggregations are produced by five different …

The Gulf of Alaska shelf is dominated by the Alaska Coastal current (ACC), which is forced
by along-shore winds and large freshwater runoff. Strong cyclonic winds dominate from fall …

Habitat heterogeneity is a major structuring agent of ecological assemblages promoting beta
diversity and ultimately contributing to overall higher global diversity. The exact processes …

We investigated the aggregative response of marine birds and cetaceans to bathymetric
features in central California over 4 years, 1996–1997 and 2001–2002. A total of 1700 km2 …

Domoic acid (DA) is a potent food web transferred algal toxin that has caused dramatic
mortality events involving sea birds and sea lions. Although no confirmed DA toxicity events …

There are increasing concerns over potential long-term changes in krill distribution and
abundance, determining whether such changes are related to climate change and/or …

In comparison to the open ocean, several additional processes including coastal upwelling,
river discharge, tidal mixing, estuarine circulation and benthic remineralization enhance …
