Continuation of the Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring in the Development Area (cANIMIDA): Synthesis, 1999-2007

摘要

The cANIMIDA Project extended the ANIMIDA field program to the summers of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. An explicit goal of the cANIMIDA Project is to examine temporal and spatial changes in chemical and biological characteristics of the oil and gas exploration and development area of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea and to determine if any observed changes are related to the Northstar development and production operations. This review summarizes and integrates the results of the ANIMIDA Project (1999 - 2003) and the cANIMIDA Project (2004 - 2007).
