  Freshwater and carbon flux vary in timing and magnitude across the Gulf of Alaska

  The rivers of southeast Alaska annually drain an incredible amount of water rich in dissolved organic carbon into the Gulf of Alaska. These seasonally variable fluxes interact with large estuaries and nearshore coastal currents along a complex shoreline where they influence ocean currents and the productivity of fisheries worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Improved modeling is informing alterations to the coastal zone management plan that guides conservation and management planning in Alaska.
