Summary	The proposed research combines state-of-the-art regional modeling of sea ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystem to provide a system approach to advance the knowledge and predictive capability of the diverse impacts of changing sea ice cover on the bio-physical marine environment of the coastal Alaska and over the larger region of the Western Arctic Ocean. The focus of this project on seasonally ice-free Alaskan coasts and shelves is in direct support of the topic 4a: 'coastal effects of a diminished-ice arctic ocean' and of littoral studies of interest to the U.S. Navy.
Keywords	Alaska Coastal Environment Change and Prediction Battlespace Awareness
