About the webinar: Higher
oil prices have caused rapid development in the Bakken oil field, centered in
western North Dakota, leading to economic, social and environmental policy challenges.
The Bakken Researchers’ Convening, hosted by the Strom Center of Dickinson
State University, May 18-19, 2015, examined these challenges to begin to
address the interdisciplinary problems faced by communities in the Bakken. This
webinar highlights policy research gaps identified in seven broad categories:
population and migration, labor markets, housing and construction, income and
wealth, business, sociological factors and the environment, in addition to
others.
