Acknowledgments 



This long-term study was made possible by the support of 

 a large number of people. J. de La Bruere made the field 

 work efficient and enjoyable through his expert ability 

 to operate the RV Alaskan Gyre. We thank A. Andrews 

 for large efforts during the field work, data manage- 

 ment, and analysis. G. Bishop, C. Dezan, E. Hooge, P. 

 Hooge, E. Leder, J. Luthy, J. Nielsen, C. Schroth, D. 

 Schultz, L. Solomon, and K. Swiney each participated 

 in the project for several years. The manuscript was 

 improved by comments from E. Mathews, E. Knudsen, 

 and three anonymous reviewers. We thank M. Jensen, 

 J. Brady, T. Lee, M. Moss, and S. Rice for their contin- 

 ued support. We especially thank the large number of 

 unnamed graduate students, faculty, state and federal 

 agency researchers — over 70 people total — who gener- 

 ously donated their time and efforts to this long-term 

 project. This project was funded by the United States 

 Geological Survey and the National Park Service.
