62981 NCCOS Dataset: Alaska Marine Spatial Bibliography v2024 Data Set Published / External 57529 NCCOS Assessment Team Project Completed 2021-01 2024-02 2021-01 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. 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. 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. https://doi.org/10.25923/f547-ff23 NOAA 2023-10-01 Theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS Theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Service Keywords EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > DATA MANAGEMENT/DATA HANDLING > SUBSETTING/SUPERSETTING > SPATIAL SUBSETTING Theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Service Keywords EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > REFERENCE AND INFORMATION SERVICES > BIBLIOGRAPHIC > BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATABASES Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category biota Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > ALASKA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > ARCTIC OCEAN > BEAUFORT SEA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > ARCTIC OCEAN > CHUKCHI SEA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > PACIFIC OCEAN > NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN > BERING SEA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > PACIFIC OCEAN > NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN > GULF OF ALASKA Theme Spatial Bibliography Spatial Aleutian Islands Silver Spring MD USA Data Set GIS Files As Needed Map (digital) 63100 Published / External This is the primary bibliographic data table, which assigns a unique ID to each Source, with associated information including Title, Journal, Year, DOI, Link, and Abstract.

The software packages used to develop the Spatial Bibliography are Esri's ArcGIS Pro 2.6, ArcGIS Online, and Microsoft Excel 2016. The hardware configuration is PCs with Windows Operating System 10. 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.

This document provided the basis for the GIS layer used in the spatial bibliography. 1 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. 2020-09-01T00:00:00 Person Nelson, David Moe david.moe.nelson@noaa.gov Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone: Ocean Exploration and Research Bibliography 2 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. 2020-10-07T00:00:00 Person Nelson, David Moe david.moe.nelson@noaa.gov Alaska Regions 3 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. 2021-01-01T00:00:00 Person Nelson, David Moe david.moe.nelson@noaa.gov Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone: Ocean Exploration and Research Bibliography 4 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. 2021-09-01T00:00:00 Person Nelson, David Moe david.moe.nelson@noaa.gov Bibliography: Northern Bering Sea Not Applicable Not Applicable 63113 Entity 63459 Entity 63101 Entity 63109 Entity 63107 Entity 63105 Entity 63103 Entity 63111 Entity 63102 Entity 63110 Entity 63108 Entity 63100 Entity 63106 Entity 63104 Entity 63112 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:62981 David Moe Nelson 2020-09-22T14:45:24 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:17 2024-07-19 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NCCOS 1002 Public No No 2024-07-16 1 Year 2025-07-16
