Cold Environment (Sustainable Development)
- Challenges
- Economical
- Costly
- Case Study: Trans-Alaskan Pipeline:
cost more then 8 billion to raise
pipeline in order to not effect migration
of wildlife. Also they have specially built
it in the shape of ZIG-ZAG line in order
to reduce expansion and contraction
created by the heat of the oil. Therefore
preventing it sinking into the floor
- Housing
- Houses would be required to be
built in high grounds
- Seasonal
Unemployment
- Tourism Industry, it is
usually populated in the
winter season
- Social
- Transportation &
Navigation
- - Arctic Ocean’s northern sea route navigable for
around 100 days in the summer, but frozen for
the other 8 months in the year. - In summer,
routes must cross the waterlogged land and
roads can be impassable. -Rivers are used by
barges in summer, but navigation is difficult due
to flooding from snowmelt and large sandbanks
that develop. - In winter, the frozen rivers are
used as ice roads for trucks, yet there are risks
of going through the ice of hitting obstacles.
- Food Supply
- High Cost, and
Limited Resources
- Lost of
Traditions
- Case Study: Nenets, Siberia
- Environmentnal
- Might endanger
wildlife
- Changes in Food Chain
- Animals no longer hunt for
food but would search for
food in rubbish
- Pollution
- Case Study: Exxon Oil
Spill
- Case Study: Nepal
Pollution in the
Himalaya's
- Opportunities
- Economical
- Increase in Employment Rate
- Case Study: the Alps
- - Sufficient precipitation (i.e. snow)
- Orographic rainfall - Frete =
Black/**Black Debris fan= Black
slope =EASY - Job opportunity =
seasonal, lower paid
- Economic Growth
- Increase in foreign exchange which leads to the increase in
local GDP
- Case Study: Trans-Alaskan Pipeline
- Social
- Increase in Living Standard
- Increase in tax revenue due to increase
in employment rate. Which leads to the
