This study explores the effects of oil exploration and drilling on Arctic communities, focusing on sediment analysis of chlorophyll, ammonium, organic matter, barium, mercury, lead, and petroleum hydrocarbons. The research discusses the need for thorough dataset analysis to characterize the ecosystem accurately, delves into high sediment chlorophyll levels, and emphasizes the use of GIS for geospatial analyses. Future work includes investigations in the Chuchki Sea on the Alpha Helix research vessel. Have questions about this research adventure?

Effects of oil exploration and drilling on Arctic communities Nathan McTigue December 2, 2008
MV Arctic Seal
What to sample? -sediment chlorophyll -sediment ammonium -total organic matter -barium -mercury -lead -total petroleum hydrocarbons
In Conclusion -still need to analyze entire dataset -then can truly characterize ecosystem  explain high sediment chlorophylls -GIS is effective tool for geospatial analyses for a marine scientist
Future work: Chuchki Sea on the Alpha Helix
Chuchki Sea, here we come!
