A new study that reconstructs the history of sea levels shows that the Bering Land Bridge connecting Asia to North America did not emerge until around 35,700 years ago, allowing humans to arrive ...

The Bering Land Bridge's boggy environs were revealed by a research cruise aboard the R/V Sikuliaq, an over 260-foot oceanographic vessel operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

These revelations about the Bering Land Bridge originated during a monthlong August-September 2023 cruise of the Sikuliaq. During that journey off Alaska’s western coast, ...

Researchers reconstructed the sea level history of the Bering Land Bridge from 46,000 years ago and found that it didn't emerge until around 35,700 years ago, which is less than 10,000 years ...

The Bering Land Bridge's boggy environs were revealed by a research cruise aboard the R/V Sikuliaq, an over 260-foot oceanographic vessel operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Geologists suggest that between 36,000 and 11,000 years ago, the Bering Land Bridge may have been less an arid steppe grassland and more a boggy ecosystem crisscrossed by rivers.

In its place today is a passage of water known as the Bering Strait, which connects the Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Based on records of estimated global temperature and sea level, scientists thought ...

Researchers determined that footprints in White Sands National Park in New Mexico are from the oldest migrants to North ...

Princeton scientists found that the Bering Land Bridge, the strip of land that once connected Asia to Alaska, emerged far later during the last ice age than previously thought. The unexpected ...

As such, it is well understood that humans likely migrated over the Bering Land Bridge to get to the Western Hemisphere. New research led by Jesse Farmer from Princeton University found that the ...

Researchers and crew members pose beside the University of Alaska Fairbanks research ship Sikuliaq in Dutch Harbor during a 2023 cruise to the Bering Sea to learn more about the Bering Land Bridge.
