Arctic Bathymetry (batharcst)

The digitally compiled map includes geology, oil and gas field centerpoints, and geologic provinces of the Arctic (North Pole area encircled by 640 N Latitude). The GIS data sets were designed originally in ESRI's ARC/INFO ver. 8.0.1 and were published as part of a series of interim CD-ROM products of the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project (WEP). The goal of the WEP is to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. Results of this assessment were reported in the year 2000 (see USGS DDS-60; http://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-060/).

本数字化编制地图涵盖北极地区（以北纬64°圈环绕的北极点区域）的地质数据、油气田中心点以及地质省。本地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）数据集最初基于环境系统研究所（ESRI）的ARC/INFO 8.0.1版本开发，作为美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey）世界能源项目（World Energy Project, WEP）系列临时光盘产品的一部分发布。世界能源项目（WEP）的目标是评估全球未被发现、可通过技术手段开采的油气资源。本次评估的相关成果已于2000年对外发布（详见美国地质调查局DDS-60报告：http://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-060/）。
