Abstract

The Arctic Circle’s huge amounts of fossil fuels and mineral resources are being developed and subjected to active construction projects. Global efforts are continuing to actively respond to climate change, but the dependence on fossil fuels remains high. This study reports a preliminary survey conducted in Alberta, Canada, where oil sand resources are actively developed. A land cover map was prepared using satellite imagery to reduce the cost and time of surveying a wide area. Results likely useful to resource development projects such as ground surface temperature and snow cover distribution were derived by using the obtained image classification results. It is expected that the results of the present research and analysis will be used to establish strategies for the successful promotion and operation of projects to develop resources in the Arctic.

북극권은 막대한 양의 화석연료와 광물자원이 매장되어 있어 개발과 건설 사업이 활발히 추진되고 있다. 전 지구적으로 기후변화에 적극적으로 대응하기 위해 노력하고 있으나, 여전히 천연자원의 의존도는 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 북극권 국가 중 비전통(오일샌드) 에너지 ‧ 자원개발이 활발히 진행 중인 캐나다(앨버타주)를 대상으로 조사연구를 수행하였다. 광범위한 지역에 대한 조사비용과 시간을 절감하기 위하여 위성영상을 활용하여 토지피복도를 작성하였다. 토지피복도의 픽셀을 계산하는 방식으로 캐나다(앨버타주) 오일샌드 개발 활동이 활발히 진행되고 있는 지역의 계절별 건설환경(지표 온도 변화, 적설 분포 면적 등) 자료를 구축하였다. 본 논문에서 수행한 조사 ‧ 분석 방법론은 북극권 자원 개발 사업의 성공적 추진과 운영을 위한 전략수립, 기본 설계 등에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.
