Potential North: Anthropogenic Infrastructure in the Extractive Territory

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Daniel Neil Aspinall

Greenland may be the next petro-territory. Granted political autonomy from Denmark in 2009, Greenland saw its financial subsidy– which supported resource and infrastructural networks–capped. In response to its growing need to address economic concerns, Greenland is actively exploiting its natural resources, opening mineral mines and promoting oil and gas exploration. A pipeline would be probable infrastructure to transport oil down the coast from the ice-present waters in the north: this pipeline serves as the site for Potential North.
