Economic benefits to the region have been accompanied by effects of the roads, infrastructure and activies of oil and gas production on the terrain, plants, animals and peoples of the North Slope. While attempts by the oil industry and regulatory agencies have reduced many of the environmental effects, they have not been eliminated. The book makes recommendations for further environmental research related to environmental effects. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects$zAlaska$zNorth Slope 606 $aOil and gas leases$xEnvironmental aspects$zAlaska$zNorth Slope 606 $aEnvironmental impact statements$zAlaska$zNorth Slope 607 $aNorth Slope (Alaska) 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aOil and gas leases$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental impact statements 676 $a333.8/2314/097987 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPolar Research Board. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960105303321 996 $aCumulative environmental effects of oil and gas activities on Alaska's North Slope$94363543 997 $aUNINA
