By Gary D. Stricker, Brianne D. Spear, Jennifer M. Sprowl, John D. Dietrich, Michael I. McCauley, and Scott A. Kinney

Abstract This database is a compilation of published and nonconfidential unpublished coal data from Alaska. Although coal occurs in isolated areas throughout Alaska, this study includes data only from the Cook Inlet and North Slope areas. The data include entries from and interpretations of oil and gas well logs, coal-core geophysical logs (such as density, gamma, and resistivity), seismic shot hole lithology descriptions, measured coal sections, and isolated coal outcrops.
