Cumulative Environmental Effects of Oil and Gas Activities on Alaska's North Slope (Paperback)

This book identifies accumulated environmental, social and economic effects of oil and gas teasing, exploration, and production on Alaska's North Slope. Economic benefits to the region have been accompanied by effects of the roads, infrastructure and activities of oil and gas production on the terrain, plants, animals and peoples of the North Slope. While attempts have been made by the oil industry and regulatory agencies to reduce many of the adverse environmental effects, they have not been eliminated. The book makes recommendations for further environmental research related to environmental effects.
