The paper reanalyzes aerial survey data to produce spatially explicit estimates of ice-associated seal abundance in the western Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk, accounting for detection and classification errors.

The paper tracks harbor seal populations in Alaska from 1996 to 2023, finding varied trends with some stocks increasing and others declining, linked to climate anomalies and glacier retreat.

The paper estimates abundance and distribution of ringed and bearded seals in the Chukchi Sea using aerial surveys and environmental data, finding higher densities in specific regions.
