Rush brought a dramatic decline of the fishery resource by man 's use and misuse of the Bay leading to a major scientific investigation in 1912-13 , the Albatross Expedition . Pulmonate snails have been found in the Himalayas at 17,000 ft and at 15,000 feet in the Andes . So , in a roundabout way , I finally came to study fossils in remote place - - marine mollusks in the Arctic instead of dinosaurs in the Gobi Desert . Over 120 countries are represented in the collections , but the strengths of the department are its extensive holdings of birds and mammals from western North America . Most of my work involves Alaska , but I have also worked in the Canadian Arctic Islands as far north as latitude 81 North . " The famous paleontologist , Roy Chapman Andrews , recounted his expeditions to the Gobi Desert in the 1920s , when he made many new discoveries , including the first-ever dinosaur eggs . My fieldwork and research are divided between two geographic areas , the Arctic Ocean and the high-latitude North Pacific Ocean . Much of my work on the Arctic Ocean is aimed at learning the history of the marine " gateways " that connect it to the North Atlantic the North Pacific . Treasury has determined that this designation process also applies to all other specific positions related to the disbursement of funds ( i.e ., ECS Security Administrators , ECS Data Entry Operators , Check Custodians , Encryption Officers , Designated Agents to receive and deliver checks , ASAP Authorizing Officials , and ASAP Financial Officials ) . Utilizing the fisheries steamer Albatross , biologists took hundreds of samples throughout the entire Bay , collecting data on temperature , salinity , mineral content , tidal flow , and benthic and planktonic biodiversity .
