Book excerpt: This book identifies accumulated environmental, social and economic effects of oil and gas leasing, exploration, and production on Alaska's 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.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumulative effects of multiple environmental perturbations of natural and social systems were identified as needing study because of a lack of a clear and unambiguous definition of cumulative effects assessment, despite the widespread recognition of its importance. There is increasing concern that neither scientists nor institutions work at the temporal and spatial scales needed for the assessment of cumulative effects. The workshop explored these issues, identified current scientific and management techniques of dealing with cumulative effects, and to recommended research and management priorities for improving the management of cumulative effects.
