Please feel free to browse;  I'm sorry-- it is under construction right now but will be updated every other day!

 Goals
To explore the different strategies for drilling ANWR and predict the impacts of either drilling or preserving it.

As an environmentalist, I chose not to be in charge of the environmental prospective, one because I was late to the choosing of teams.  But when the chance came up again to be Alaskan Environmentalists' point of view, I specifically chose not to be the environmental perspective in our team because I did not want to give the project a biased view and I wanted to explore a different perspective.

 I am responsible for predicting the sociological impact of a decision to exploit or preserve oil resources at ANWR.
