The bi-annual U.S.-Canada Oil Northern Oil and Gas Research Forum convenes government, academic, industry, and non-profit researchers, regulators, and other stakeholders to share research and perspectives related to oil and gas activities in Alaska and Arctic Canada. Topics ranged from governance and stakeholder engagement to technical issues related to air quality and oil spill response. Nuka Research supported BOEM, the lead U.S. host, to manage registration, venue, accommodations, and other meeting logistics and develop event proceedings. The 2017 Forum took place at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage, Alaska on October 11-13 with more than 200 participants.
