Abstract Conoco and their Russian partners, Arkangelskgeoldobycha conducted field programs from 1994 to 1996 in support of environmental baseline studies and civil planning and design work for the future development of the Northern Territories in the Timan Pechora area of Russia. A major component of both the environmental and engineering design work was characterization of landforms and landscape analysis in this remote arctic tundra environment. A landform/landscape analysis was performed to assist in siting of future facilities, pads, roads, and pipelines in locations that would minimize environmental impact on the tundra. The field assessments were conducted by a multi-discipline team consisting of geologists, geotechnical engineers, hydrologists, botanists, and arctic landform specialists from Russia, Alaska, and Canada. All of the collected information (soils, vegetation, permafrost, geothermal, etc.) was compiled, charted, digitized and entered into a Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS has been and will be used to evaluate terrain conditions and potential sources of engineering construction materials, environmental baseline mapping and monitoring, and will assist in permitting for the Northern Territories Fields. The methods employed in the performance of this landform/landscape analysis are presented and discussed.
