Summary: This research explores the different roles and expectations of regional and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) for energy development in the Beaufort Sea-Mackenzie Delta region. The objectives are to: (1) understand how Arctic oil and gas development is regulated, and the challenges to the current environmental assessment system, (2) identify the different understandings and expectations abo...

Summary: Ambient air quality data will be collected to the northeast of the Community of Inuvik. Monitored parameters will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ozone. These data will be collected by a series of passive sampling devices, that will require servicing on a monthly basis. The sample media will be changed out at the end of each month, and returned to the laboratory for detailed chemica...

Summary: To continue the study and come to understand natural hydrocarbon distributions and primary productivity in the oil exploration zone of the Mackenzie Estuary. To predict the impact of projected industrial discharges of hydrocarbons, planned or accidental, by studying and model processes governing natural distributions of the same compounds....
