    • Deep-water exploration and research in the Alaska region: peer-reviewed literature and technical reports conducted within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone, 2000-01 to 2020-06

    Metadata Updated: May 22, 2025

    This project is a spatial bibliography of deep-water (greater than 200 meters depth) studies conducted in the Alaska region within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone from 2000 to 2020. Six academic disciplines are included: biology and ecology of benthic and pelagic taxa, chemistry, physical oceanography, geology, marine cultural heritage, and resource management. Seven geographic regions are defined according to the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center management areas*: Southeast and Central Gulf of Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Eastern and Northern Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Bering Sea. This project also includes information, if available, about the sampling methods and collected data types from each study.

    *These regions do not define exploration priorities for the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research.

    Lineage This spatial bibliography was built from an annotated bibliography by the NOAA Central Library and a spatial framework based on the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center survey and management regions*. Additional entries came from the Northern Bering Sea Bibliography. Each bibliographic entry was scanned for information on academic discipline, geographic region, site locations, sampling methods, and collected data types. This information was then linked to the spatial framework in order to map and create query options using an ArcGIS platform. *These regions do not define exploration priorities for the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research.
