Recorded Video Talk: Pacific Walruses: Responding to Change? Strait Science, April 2023
USGS and USFWS biologists conducted a series of joint research cruises from 2013-2017 to study Pacific walrus population dynamics. This joint presentation is on past, current, and future Pacific walrus research in the Bering Strait including results from these research cruises, the 2023 field season, and the upcoming 2024 research cruise.

Changing Arctic Ecosystems
Arctic regions of Alaska are important for cultural and economic sustainability and host a wide variety of wildlife species, many of which are of conservation and management interest to the U.S. Department of the Interior. The USGS and collaborators provide information about Arctic ecosystems that are used by Arctic residents, management agencies, and industry.
Q&A: Vessel Cruise for Estimates of Pacific Walrus Demography
Adult female and juvenile Pacific walruses reside in the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea in the late spring and summer. In June of 2024, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the USGS will again conduct a walrus research cruise on the Research Vessel Norseman II. The cruise will depart from Nome, Alaska on May 31, 2024, and return to Nome on June 28, 2024. The research cruise will be...
Q&A: Estimates of Abundance for Pacific Walrus
The Pacific walrus ranges across the Bering and Chukchi seas during the year. This wide geographic distribution makes it difficult to estimate Pacific walrus population abundance. However, recent technological advances in genetics and drone imagery have generated precise regional and range-wide abundance estimates.

Drones for Science: Walrus Calf Scavenged by Polar Bear
This is B-roll video collected during the fall of 2024 on the Alaskan shores of the Chukchi Sea.
Large walrus herd resting on Alaskan shore
Sounds from a large herd of walruses resting on Alaskan shores of the Chukchi Sea recorded. Deep full barks and calls of individual walruses near the edge of the herd are audible over a continuous rhythmic humming sound that arises from the calls of tens of thousands of walrsues from deeper within the herd.

Drone on beach
USGS uses small uncrewed aerial systems, also known as drones for science, to survey walrus herds and carcasses on remote Alaskan beaches. The USGS visual observer, Christina Ahlstrom, keeps her eyes on the survey drone while the remote pilot prepares it to survey the walrus herd that is visible in the distance behind her on the beach.
