A secondary objective was to provide data to be used in the development of oil spill contingency plans. Within this context, two basic approaches emerge regarding the acquisition of environmental data: (1) survey techniques and (2) process-oriented studies. . Most of the studies carried out were either comprehensive ship-borne operations or aerial surveys. Work was also undertaken from shore-based camps. Extensive use was made of remote sensing, by radar and satellites. . The physical studies . [comprised] three principal disciplines: oceanography, meteorology and geomorphology. . The biological studies were primarily large-scale surveys, although there were several smaller-scale studies of specific features such as ice edges.
