- 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.
