Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
In spite of the harsh conditions that characterize the Arctic, it is a surprisingly
fragile ecosystem. The exploration for oil in the Arctic over the past 30 years has
had profound effects on the plants and animals that inhabit this frozen clime. The
Natural History of an Arctic Oil Field synthesizes decades of research on these myriad
impacts. Specialists with years of field experience have contributed to this volume
to create the first widely available synopsis of the ecology and wildlife biology
of animals and plants living in close association with an actively producing oil field
