The 1,563,500-acre ANWR oil and gas program area referred to as the “Coastal Plain” is located along the coast of the approximately 19.3 million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) on Alaska’s North Slope. It is in the northwestern portion of the refuge immediately adjacent to the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean) located to the north.

2017年5月30日 · The Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) is a large region of low-lying, lake-rich land on the North Slope of Alaska. This region is underlain by thick ground ice, which is susceptible to erosion and thaw. These physical changes are likely to alter ecosystems by changing the availability of habitats and food resources upon which wildlife depends.

2018年12月31日 · This data set provides a landcover map with 16 landcover classes for the northern coastal plain of the the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) on the North Slope of Alaska. The map was derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper (Landsat TM) data, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), aerial photographs, existing maps, and extensive ground-truthing.

We mapped seventeen of the most dominant geomorphic land cover classes on the Alaskan Coastal Plain (ACP): Coalescent low-center polygons, Low-center polygons, Nonpatterned Drained Thaw Lake Basins, Drained slope, Flat-center polygons, High-center polygons, Sandy barrens, Sand dunes, Ice, Coastal saline waters, Rivers, Urban (i.e. towns and ...

The northern edge of the Brooks Range generally cointides with the limit of pre-Cretaceous rocks, while the foothills-coastal plain boundary coincides with the northern edge of fold and thrust belt.
