The SUNBEAM (Studies to Unlock Northern Basins Energy along Arctic Margins) Program is the University of Calgary's initiative aimed at engaging a team of professors and their students in the study of Canada's most promising frontier basins in the Arctic. The SUNBEAM Program will train a new generation of geoscientists in the many aspects of multi-disciplinary, holistic, basin analysis, while gaining invaluable knowledge directly applicable to assessing and eventually unlocking the energy resource potential of the Arctic islands. In partnership with Total, the SUNBEAM Program will allow a dozen of graduate students to learn how to conduct research in the far north, while giving them access to one of Canada's most remarkable sedimentary successions. It will also introduce a new generation of professors to the challenges and rewards of conducting research in the Arctic. The project will both directly support and complement NRCan's mapping effort in the Arctic islands (Geomapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM)) in focusing on a broad area of the Sverdrup Basin. The SUNBEAM Project will contribute, in harmony with the overall objectives of GEM, to the sustainable economic development of northern Canada, with tangible benefits for all Canadians. A resource-based economy, as promoted by GEM and SUNBEAM, is a condition for creating prosperity, jobs, opportunities and a healthy social fabric in the north. The SUNBEAM Program will also generate a wealth of information on the resource-rich Canadian landmass adjacent to the Polar Continental Shelf that is currently being surveyed for its possible extension under the Law of the Sea.

SUNBEAM（研究北方盆地能源沿着北极边缘）计划是卡尔加里大学的倡议，旨在让一组教授和学生参与加拿大最有前途的北极前沿盆地的研究。SUNBEAM计划将在多学科，整体，盆地分析的许多方面培训新一代地球科学家，同时获得直接适用于评估并最终释放北极岛屿能源潜力的宝贵知识。与道达尔合作，SUNBEAM计划将允许十几名研究生学习如何在遥远的北方进行研究，同时让他们获得加拿大最显着的沉积序列之一。它还将向新一代教授介绍在北极进行研究的挑战和回报。该项目将直接支持和补充NRCan在北极岛屿的测绘工作（能源和矿产地理测绘（GEM）），重点关注斯维尔德鲁普盆地的广大地区。SUNBEAM项目将与GEM的总体目标协调一致，为加拿大北方的可持续经济发展做出贡献，为所有加拿大人带来实实在在的利益。由全球环境监测系统和阳光项目推动的资源型经济是在北部创造繁荣、就业、机会和健康社会结构的条件。SUNBEAM方案还将产生大量关于资源丰富的加拿大大陆块的资料，该大陆块毗邻极地大陆架，目前正在根据海洋法对其可能的延伸进行勘测。
