Studies to Unlock Northern Basins Energy along Artic Margins (SUNBEAM)

SUNBEAM(沿北极边缘释放北方盆地能源的研究)项目是卡尔加里大学的倡议，旨在让一个教授团队和他们的学生参与到加拿大最有希望的北极前沿盆地的研究中。阳光计划将在多学科、全面、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资源潜力的宝贵知识。与道达尔合作，阳光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，同时让他们有机会接触加拿大最引人注目的沉积序列之一。它还将向新一代教授介绍在北极开展研究的挑战和回报。该项目将直接支持和补充NRCan在北极岛屿(能源和矿产地理测绘(GEM))的测绘工作，专注于斯维尔德鲁普盆地的大片区域。阳光项目将与GEM的总体目标相一致，为加拿大北部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好处。在GEM和SunBeam的推动下，资源型经济是在北方创造繁荣、就业、机会和健康社会结构的条件。阳光计划还将产生大量关于资源丰富的加拿大大陆的信息，该大陆毗邻极地大陆架，目前正在根据海洋法进行勘测，以确定其可能的延伸范围。

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.
