This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. This dataset includes zooplankton biomass from Prince William Sound, Icy Bay and Yakutat Bay, Alaska. Zooplankton were sampled with a ring net (0.6 m diameter with 211 µ mesh) on a 50 m vertical haul or to within 5 m of the bottom in shallow water. Zooplankton samples were identified to species and life stage when possible.
This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. This dataset contains catch data from trawls at the sampling stations. We deployed a modified herring trawl in coastal waters within glacier fjords of Alaska. Sampling stations in each fjord were chosen randomly from a 2.5 x 2.5 km grid overlaid on navigable waters in the fjord. The number of stations in each fjord was chosen to achieve a sampling frequency of about 1 sample per 15 km^2, and was based on available resources and logistical constraints (weather, navigational hazards and vessel time).
This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. This dataset contains physical oceanographic data within four fjords in the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska. Data were collected with a Seabird Electronics conductivity-temperature-depth profiler equipped with external sensors and a water sampler. Glacier runoff provides a link between terrestrial systems and nearshore coastal processes, whereby freshwater input influences the physical oceanographic properties and circulation of fjords (Arimitsu et al. 2016).

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. These data describe marine bird and mammal surveys conducted in glacial fjords of coastal Alaska. Data were collected to document the at-sea distribution and abundance of marine birds and mammals in Glacier Bay National Park (2004), Prince William Sound (2010), Icy Bay (2011) and Yakutat Bay (2011). Following standard US Fish and Wildlife protocols for strip surveys.
This digital terrain model of the Icy Bay, Alaska region consists of elevations acquired using airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) merged with bathymetry interpolated from various hydrographic surveys. Hydrographic information for Icy Bay and the lower 9 km of Taan Fiord was primarily from hydrographic surveys and a nautical chart published by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Near the head of Taan Fiord, hydrographic survey points were from Meigs and others (2006). The reach of Taan Fiord between the study of Meigs and others (2006) and the NOAA hydrographic data was interpolated using manually drawn contours.

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. This dataset includes zooplankton displacement volume sampled in Glacier Bay National Park during summer of 2004. Zooplankton were sampled with a multinet with a 0.5 m^2 mouth opening and 335 µ mesh.
This digital terrain model of the Icy Bay, Alaska region consists of elevations acquired using airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) merged with bathymetry interpolated from various hydrographic surveys and inferred landslide slip surface elevations for a landslide that occurred on October 17, 2015 near the terminus of Tyndall Glacier. Hydrographic information for Icy Bay and the lower 9 km of Taan Fiord was primarily from hydrographic surveys and a nautical chart published by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Near the head of Taan Fiord, hydrographic survey points were from Meigs and others (2006). The reach of Taan Fiord between the study of Meigs and others (2006)...

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. In order to understand marine ecosystem responses to a range of habitat variability in coastal zones modified by glacial freshwater outflows, biophysical data were collected in three study regions that included four major glacial fjord systems around the Gulf of Alaska. Each of 172 discrete stations within the three study regions was sampled once during the peak ice-melt season in summer. A suite of geographic, oceanographic, nutrient and biological attributes was sampled at each station (see Arimitsu et al. 2008, Renner et al. 2012, Arimitsu et al. 2016 for details). This dataset includes station information, including date, time,...
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is an indicator of vegetation health and density. High NDVI values generally correspond to dense vegetation and low NDVI values generally correspond to sparsely vegetated or barren areas. NDVI was calculated for pan-sharpened Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager images acquired on May 13, 2015 and May 15, 2016 for the region around Icy Bay, Alaska. NDVI results from 2015 were subtracted from results for 2016 to produce a change image. The change image can be used to assess changes in vegetation patterns resulting from a landslide that occurred near Tyndall Glacier in October, 2015 and generated a tsunami in Taan Fiord, an arm of Icy Bay. Positive change in NDVI generally...

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7K072DR. This dataset contains nutrient data collected at stations within four fjords in the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska. Sea water samples were collected with a Seabird Electronics Ecosampler SBE55 attached to a conductivity-temperature-depth profiler. Bottles were fired at the surface (0 m) and from 8 m (in Glacier Bay, AK in 2004) or 10 m (in Prince William Sound, AK in 2010 and in Icy Bay and Yakutat Bay, AK in 2011). Samples were processed for nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), phosphate (PO4), and silicic acid (SIOH4).
