  • Week of September 7- Created a definition of an A and our websites
  • Week of September 14- Continue to work on web site. On Wednesday 17th split up research within our group. I've been assigned to: The Background of ANWR: Why oil formed there and how? What types of hydrocarbons are there? I have to work in conjunction with Mariela because she is creating a map of ANWR, showing where the hydrocarbons are catagorized in types and amount. Our group is also in charge of the discussion on Prospectives 2, so I am reading in the mission readings book
  • Week of September 21- Reading Prospectives 2. On Wednesday will meet with group 8 to plan debate. Continuing research and updating website.
  • Week of September 28- Work on research finding many sources, using the web. On wednesday we met with alumni mentor Bob Gurnitz. He was a huge help. He gave me the USGS assessment made in 1998 "The Oil and Gas Resource Potential of the Artic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 Area, Alaska". It is a CD-rom and brochure. There is so much information on the CD-rom, because USGS did exactly what team 1 is in charge of researching, finding an estimate of hydrocarbon potential. I was assigned to create a summary of the article.
  • Week of October 5- During this week, our group talked about reorganizing, and filling in the gaps in our definition of an A. We did a lot of talking, but did not get a lot done.  We need to make sure everyone is doing work that helps our definition A. Mariela and I will now start to work together on finding the maps and geologic history of ANWR. We are planning to meet over the three day weekend.
  • Week of October 12- More research. We are now working heavily on developing the team website. I thought of the idea of making the definition of an A into a bunch of links where we can put our individual research. I am in charge of the geological history of ANWR. We really need maps.
  • Week of October 19- Mariela got some maps of the 10 plays. I am having trouble of finding information on the geological history that isn't and huge textbook with lots of uneeded information. I only want to give a brief overview because unless you are an EAPS professor or student, you won't understand the detail. Finally I decided to look at the chapter GG in the USGS 98 Open file. The intro of this chapter gave a really good overview of the history and setting of the 1002 area. Here is my summary.
