Final Report Title: Susceptibility Of Sea Ice Biota To Disturbances In The Shallow Beaufort Sea: Phase 1: Biological Coupling Of Sea Ice W

by Rolf R Gradinger and Brodil a Bluhm

We assessed the impact of sediment load on the abundances and composition of biological communities in near-shore fast ice and underlying waters close to Barrow, Alaska. Based on existing scientific evidence we hypothesized that any disturbance of the sea ice habitat, e.g. by enhanced sediment load, construction of ice roads and gas or oil spills, would likely impact the biological links between ice, water column and sea floor and may, hence, affect...
