The Arctic Science and Technology Information System (ASTIS), hosted by Arctic Institute of North America at the University of Calgary, maintains an extensive database of publications related to northern science and hydrocarbon impact that is regularly updated. References to over 70,000 documents can be found on the ASTIS website in either electronic or hard copy formats. The Hydrocarbon Impacts database is particularly relevant to oil and gas activities in the North. It was created for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2001 and currently describes over 6700 publications and research projects on the environmental impacts, socio-economic effects and regulation of hydrocarbon exploration, development and transportation in northern Canada. The database is freely available online from a bilingual website. Access the Hydrocarbon Impacts database or Access the ASTIS database
