Chukchi Sea Polar Bear Locations, 1985-1996
September 30, 2015
These data are the raw data collected from satellite radio-collars between1985-1996. The collars were worn by adult female polar bears ranging within the Chukchi Sea polar bear subpopulation. The locations of bears were determined by the ARGOS System on-board the collar and were transmitted via the ARGOS system once every 3 days.

Increased land use by Chukchi Sea polar bears in relation to changing sea ice conditions
Recent observations suggest that polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are increasingly using land habitats in some parts of their range, where they have minimal access to their preferred prey, likely in response to loss of their sea ice habitat associated with climatic warming. We used location data from female polar bears fit with satellite radio collars to compare land use patterns in the Chukchi Sea b
