AbstractThis 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.

Abstract: |
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. |
Purpose: |
The NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research is planning future fieldwork in the deep waters (greater than 200 meters depth) of the Alaska region. The purpose of this spatial bibliography is to map previously conducted research in order to identify unexplored and under-described areas. In addition to scoping science and knowledge gaps in the Alaska region, the tool is available for broader use by partners as a geospatially-explicit query platform. |
Other Citation Details: |
This project was led by OER and completed through partnerships with the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, the NOAA Central Library, the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the NOAA Regional Alaska Team. |

Lineage
Lineage Statement: |
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. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
In collaboration with the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, the NOAA Central Library published an annotated bibliography on deep water (greater than 200 meters) research and exploration conducted in the Alaska region from 2000 to present. The annotated bibliography focused on peer-reviewed publications and other technical reports by U.S. and international scientists in Alaskan waters within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Six disciplines of interest were identified: (1) biology and ecology of benthic and pelagic taxa (from microbes to megafauna), (2) chemistry, (3) physical oceanography, (4) geology, (5) marine cultural heritage, and (6) management with major themes identified and summarized. |

Process Step 2
Description: |
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) created a polygon layer based on the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center survey and management regions to provide a spatial framework for this spatial bibliography. The Northern Bering Sea and the Southeastern Gulf of Alaska are additionally included as separate regions as an emerging management area of interest and as an area with specific scientific interests, respectively. These regions do not define exploration priorities for the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research. |

Process Step 3
Description: |
The NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) parsed information from the annotated bibliography into related data tables, joined by Unique IDs (see Child Items / Entities and Attributes for details). Information captured in the tables includes citation, URL (if available), academic discipline, geographic region, sampling method, collected data types, and location (if available). These data tables were then joined with the polgyon layer to create a geodatabase in ArcGIS. The geodatabase was used to create an interactive online tool in ArcGIS Online. |

Process Step 4
Description: |
References were selected from the Northern Bering Sea Bibliography, screened for fit within the spatial and temporal scope of the Alaska spatial bibliography, and added as documents to the Alaska spatial bibliography geodatabase, This brought the total number of documents in the Alaska spatial bibliography geodatabase to 572. |
