A synthesized dataset of Pacific Arctic marine mammal occurrences (1860-2024) Open
Data on marine mammals in the Pacific Arctic region are limited, variably collected over time and by multiple sources. Therefore, collation and synthesis of previously collected data, such as the dataset presented here, make these data mor…

Mapping vessel traffic patterns in the ice-covered waters of the Pacific Arctic Open
Recent climate change has caused declines in ice coverage which have lengthened the open water season in the Arctic and increased access to resources and shipping routes. These changes have resulted in more vessel activity in seasonally ic…
