Carbon Cycle in the Arctic Tundra Learning Objectives The impact of the developing oil and gas industry on the water and carbon cycles Management strategies used to moderate the impacts of the oil and gas industry.

The impact of the developing oil and gas industry on the water and carbon cycles Where is the Arctic Tundra located in Alaska? Why was the oil and gas exploited here, even with the harsh environmental conditions? When did the investment in the area begin and what did it entail? How important is the North Slope for gas and oil production for the USA?
