The M9.2 Alaska earthquake of 1964 caused major damage to the port facilities and town of Valdez, most of it the result of submarine landslide and the consequent tsunamis. Recent bathymetric multibeam surveys, high-resolution subbottom profiles, and dated sediment cores in Port Valdez supply new information about the morphology and character of the landslide deposits. A comparison of pre- and post-earthquake bathymetry provides an estimate of the net volume of landslide debris deposited in the basin and the volume of sediment removed from the source region. Landslide features include (1) large blocks (up to 40-m high) near the location of the greatest tsunamiwave runup (~50 m), (2) two debris lobes associated with the blocks, (3) a series of gullies, channels and talus, near the fjord-head delta and badly damaged old town of Valdez, and (4) the front of a debris lobe that flowed half-way down the fjord from the east end.

Studying \nmineralized systems prior to mining allows us to compare \nthe natural biogeochemical signature in mineralized versus \nnonmineralized areas. The resultant data and interpretation \nalso provide a baseline for evaluating what, if any, changes in \nelemental distribution result from development. This report \ninvestigates the chemistry of stream water, streambed sediment, and soil in the context of regional bedrock geology. The \nmajor-ion chemistry of the waters reflects a rock-dominated \naqueous system, and the waters are classified as Ca2+ and \nMg2+ - HCO3- to Ca2+ and Mg2+ - SO4-2 waters. Creeks draining \nthe gneissic lithologies tend to be more sulfate dominated \nthan those draining the intrusive units. Sulfate also dominated \ncreeks draining mineralized areas; however, the underlying \nparagneiss unit could be contributing substantially to the \nsulfate concentration, and the sulfate concentration in these \ncreeks may reflect a complex baltholith-paragneiss boundary rather than mineralization. Arsenic concentrations in \nbed sediments were elevated in mineralized areas relative \nto nonmineralized areas. Elevated concentrations of nickel, \nchromium, iron, manganese, and cobalt appear to reflect \nthe presence of ultramafic rocks in the drainage. In general, aqueous metal concentrations were below the State of \nAlaska’s Aquatic Life Criteria and Drinking Water Standards, \nwith the exception of arsenic in stream water, which ranged \nin concentration from less than 1 to 14 micrograms per liter \n(μg/L) and exceeded the drinking water standard at one site. \nThe arsenic and antimony concentration in the A, B, and C \nsoil horizons ranged from 3 to 410 milligrams per kilogram \n(mg/kg), 6.1 to 440 mg/kg, and 2 to 300 mg/kg, respectively, for arsenic and 0.4 to 24 mg/kg, 0.6 to 25 mg/kg, and 0.2 to \n16 mg/kg, respectively, for antimony. The arsenic and antimony concentrations in stream waters correlate well with the \nconcentrations in soils. However, significantly less arsenic and \nantimony was extracted from C horizon soils in water leaching \nexperiments, indicating that the arsenic and antimony in the \nC horizon is present in a less available form than in the A or \nB horizons. Arsenic and antimony uptake by grayleaf willow \n(Salix glauca L.) appears minimal, with arsenic concentrations ranging from less than 0.01 to 0.14 mg/kg and antimony \nconcentrations ranging from less than 0.003 to 0.23 mg/kg \nin willow leaves. In general, the highest concentrations of \nboth arsenic and antimony in water and soils were found \nnear mineralized areas. Elevated arsenic concentrations were \nalso found in bed sediments from mineralized areas. In these \nsample matrices, the presence of arsenic and (or) antimony \nwas a good indicator of contact with mineralized rock units.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Recent U.S. Geological Survey studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada--results of a 5-year project (Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5289)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20075289H","collaboration":"This report is Chapter H in Recent U.S. Geological Survey studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada--results of a 5-year project.

The major deposits in this so-called Tintina \nGold Province formed around 105 to 90 million years ago in \neast-central Alaska and Yukon, and around 70 million years \nago in southwestern Alaska, late in the deformational history \nof their host rocks. All gold deposits studied to date formed \nfrom CO2\n-rich and 18O-rich crustal fluids, most commonly of \nlow salinity. The older group of ores includes the low-grade \nintrusion-related gold systems at Fort Knox near Fairbanks \nand those in Yukon, with fluids exsolved from fractionating \nmelts at depths of 3 to 9 kilometers and forming a zoned \nsequence of auriferous mineralization styles extending \noutward to the surrounding metasedimentary country rocks. \nThe causative plutons are products of potassic mafic magmas generated in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle that \ninteracted with overlying lower to middle crust to generate \nthe more felsic ore-related intrusions. In addition, the older \nores include spatially associated, high-grade, shear-zonerelated orogenic gold deposits formed at the same depths from \nupward-migrating metamorphic fluids; the Pogo deposit is \na relatively deep-seated example of such. The younger gold \nores, restricted to southwestern Alaska, formed in unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks of the Kuskokwim basin \nwithin 1 to 2 kilometers of the surface. Most of these deposits \nformed via fluid exsolution from shallowly emplaced, highly \nevolved igneous complexes generated mainly as mantle melts. \nHowever, the giant Donlin Creek orogenic gold deposit is a \nproduct of either metamorphic devolatilization deep in the \nbasin or of a gold-bearing fluid released from a flysch-melt \nigneous body.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Recent U.S. Geological Survey studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada— Results of a 5-year project (Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5289)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20075289A","usgsCitation":"Goldfarb, R.J., Marsh, E., Hart, C.J., Mair, J.L., Miller, M.L., and Johnson, C., 2007, Geology and origin of epigenetic lode gold deposits, Tintina Gold Province, Alaska and Yukon: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5289, iii, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20075289A.","productDescription":"iii, 18 p.","numberOfPages":"22","costCenters":[{"id":244,"text":"Eastern Mineral Resources Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":276165,"rank":3,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20075289a.png"},{"id":276163,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2007/5289/"},{"id":276164,"rank":1,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2007/5289/SIR2007-5289-A.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":422348,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_92102.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"Alaska, Yukon","otherGeospatial":"Tintina Gold Province","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -163.0,59.0 ], [ -163.0,67.0 ], [ -126.0,67.0 ], [ -126.0,59.0 ], [ -163.0,59.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5203a378e4b02bdb1bc63f9b","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Gough, Larry P. lgough@usgs.gov","contributorId":1230,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gough","given":"Larry","email":"lgough@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":509551,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Day, Warren C. 0000-0002-9278-2120 wday@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9278-2120","contributorId":1308,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Day","given":"Warren","email":"wday@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":387,"text":"Mineral Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":509552,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2}],"authors":[{"text":"Goldfarb, Richard J. goldfarb@usgs.gov","contributorId":1205,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Goldfarb","given":"Richard","email":"goldfarb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":482141,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Marsh, Erin E. 0000-0001-5245-9532","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5245-9532","contributorId":58765,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Marsh","given":"Erin E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":482143,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hart, Craig J.

A total of 347 samples (ground water, surface water, and stream sediment) were \ncollected to investigate the distribution and mobility of arsenic \nand antimony in the environment near known mineral deposits. Samples were collected from east to west at Keno Hill and \nBrewery Creek, Yukon, Canada; and Cleary Hill, True North, \nScrafford Mine, Fairbanks, Ryan Lode, Stampede Creek, \nSlate Creek, and Donlin Creek, all in Alaska. Surface- and \nground-water samples are all slightly acidic to near-neutral \nin pH (5-8), have a wide range in specific conductance \n(surface water 17-2,980 microsiemens per centimeter and \nground water 170-2,940 microsiemens per centimeter), and \nshow elevated dissolved arsenic and antimony concentrations \n(arsenic in surface water is less than 1 to 380 micrograms per \nliter and in ground water is less than 1 micrograms per liter to \n1.5 milligrams per liter; antimony in surface water is less than \n2 to 660 micrograms per liter and in ground water is less than \n2 to 60 micrograms per liter). Stream sediments downstream \nfrom these deposits have high concentrations of arsenic and \nantimony (arsenic median is 1,670 parts per million, maximum is 10,000 parts per million; antimony median is 192 \nparts per million, maximum is 7,200 parts per million). The \nmobility of arsenic and antimony is controlled by the local \nredox environment, with arsenic being less mobile in oxidized \nsurface waters relative to antimony, and arsenic more mobile \nin reduced ground water. These factors suggest that both antimony and arsenic may be useful pathfinder elements in water \nand sediment for targeting similar style deposits elsewhere in \nthe Tintina Gold Province.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Recent U.S. Geological Survey studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada--results of a 5-year project (Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5289)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20075289G","collaboration":"This report is Chapter G in Recent U.S. Geological Survey studies in the Tintina Gold Province, Alaska, United States, and Yukon, Canada--results of a 5-year project.

The Cascadia subduction zone extends from Cape Mendocino, California, to Vancouver Island, Canada. The Seaside area was chosen because it is typical of many coastal communities subject to tsunamis generated by far- and near-field (Cascadia) earthquakes.
\nTwo goals of the pilot study were to develop probabilistic 100-year and 500-year tsunami inundation maps using Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Analysis (PTHA) and to provide \nrecommendations for improving tsunami hazard assessment guidelines for FEMA and \nstate and local agencies. The study was an interagency effort by the National Oceanic and \nAtmospheric Administration, U.S. Geological Survey, and FEMA, in collaboration with \nthe University of Southern California, Middle East Technical University, Portland State \nUniversity, Horning Geoscience, Northwest Hydraulics Consultants, and the Oregon \nDepartment of Geological and Mineral Industries. The pilot study model data and results \nare published separately as a geographic information systems (GIS) data report (Wong \nand others, 2006). The flood maps and GIS data are briefly described here.

In high-gradient alpine streams, aufeis forms mostly \nas a result of ground-water discharge into the stream channel. \nThe ice occludes this discharge, perturbing the steady-state \ncondition, and causing an incremental rise in the local water \ntable until discharge occurs higher on the stream bank above \nthe previously formed ice. Successive freezing of onlapping \nice layers can lead to aufeis accumulations several meters \nthick.\nThe location and extent of aufeis in high-gradient streams \nmay be useful to relate local hydrology to geologic structure. \nIn the Goodpaster River basin study area, mineral deposits \nare known to occur, the location of which may be structurally \ncontrolled. Therefore, a more thorough understanding of \nregional geologic structures may facilitate a more detailed \nunderstanding of the genesis of the mineral deposits.\nExtensive aufeis was observed during visits to the \nGoodpaster River basin in east-central Alaska during 1999, \n2001, and 2002. Seeps from the sides of the valleys caused \nice to build up, giving the ice surface a concave-upward \nshape perpendicular to the stream direction. This concavity is \nevidence for ground-water discharge along the length of the \naufeis, as opposed to discharge from a single upstream point. \nDuring thaw, streamflow is commonly observed out of the \nnormal channel, evidence that occlusion of the channel (and \nshallow sediments) by ice is a viable mechanism for causing \nthe water table to rise.\nThe thickest (>3 meters) and most extensive aufeis \n(100’s of meters to kilometers along valleys) coincided with \nlocations of laterally extensive (>5 kilometers) mapped \nhigh-angle brittle fault zones, suggesting that the fault zones \nare hydraulically conductive.

The plan, expected to include various alternatives for storm protection and \nerosion mitigation, is referred to as the Fire Island to Montauk Point Reformulation Plan (FIMP). \nThese plans are expected to follow the Corps of Engineers’ Environmental Operating Principles \nstriving for long term environmental sustainability and balance between environmental protection \nand protection of human health and property.
\nFire Island National Seashore (FIIS), a 19,579 acre unit of the National Park System includes a 32 \nmile long coastal barrier island located within the FIMP project area. A seven-mile section of the \npark, Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness Area, is also a designated Federal Wilderness \nArea. The FIIS includes not only the barrier island and sand dunes, but also several islands, sand \nflats and wetlands landward of the barrier, submerged parts of Great South Bay shoreface, extending \napproximately 4,000 feet into the bay with the inner shelf region extending approximately 1,000 feet \nseaward of the Fire Island shoreline.
\nThe Fire Island barrier islands, a sand-starved system dominated by highly dynamic processes, are \nstruggling to maintain their integrity in the face of sea-level rise and storms. Adding to the dilemma \nis that development on the barriers and the mainland has increased greatly during the past 50 years. \nAs such, managers and decision makers in federal agencies, state agencies and local governments are \nchallenged to balance tradeoffs between protection of lives and property, public access and long \nterm conservation of natural habitats and processes and the plants and animals that depend on these \nhabitats.
\nNational Park Service (NPS) policy stipulates that natural coastal processes be maintained to the greatest extent possible and not be impeded so as to conserve landforms, habitats and natural ecosystem resources that reply on the landforms and processes for long-term sustainability of the national park. Storms and associated processes such as waves, tides, currents and relative sea-level change are critical elements for the formation and evolution of these barrier islands, sand dunes, back-barrier sand flats and lagoons and vegetated wetlands. Processes such as wave run-up, overwash and barrier beaching, which occur during elevated storm surge are all necessary processes in enabling the efficient transfer of sediments, nutrients and marine water from the Atlantic Ocean across barriers and into Great South Bay. A large body of scientific data and information published over the past 50 years shows that such transfers of sediment and water from the ocean to the bays are essential for the long-term maintenance of the barrier island and back-bay systems and their biologically diverse habitats an d ecosystems. Current relative sea-level rise (~12 in/century) is chronic and pervasive in driving Long Island coastal change and with the likelihood of accelerating sea level rise in the near future, coastal hazards such as erosion, inundation, and storm surge flooding will increase, with corresponding increased risk to life and property on both Fire Island and on the mainland.
\nIn addition, the cumulative effects over the past century and more, both direct and indirect, of human impacts on the Long Island coast have altered the barrier beach and dunes and sediment transport processes. These impacts have likely increased the potential for breaching and increased risk to life and property on the coast and the mainland. Examples of direct impacts are: the stone jetties at Moriches, Shinnecock, and Fire Island tidal inlets and groin field structures at Westhampton that alter littoral processes, armoring and erosion-control stabilization of the headlandds such as the Montauk Point headlands, and deepening of navigation channels by dredging through the tidal inlets and in the bays. Indirect impacts that have a bearing on decisions to deal with breaching are: high-risk development of the barrier islands and low-lying areas of the mainland vulnerable to flooding, and the dredging of nearshore sand shoals for beach nourishment.
\nThe NPS strives to employ a coastal management framework for decision making that is based on assessment of the physical and ecological properties of the shoreline as well as human welfare and property. In order to protect developed areas of Fire Island and the mainland from loss of life, flooding, and other economic and physical damage, the NPS will likely need to consider allowing artificial closure of some breaches within the FIIS under certain circumstances. The decision by the NPS to allow breaches to evolve naturally and possibly close or to allow artificially closing breaches is based on four criteria:
\n
\n
1. Volumes of sediment transported landward and exchange of water and nutrients;
\n2. Elevated water levels and flooding risk to mainland life and property;
\n3. Engineering processes of artificial closure; and
\n4. Economic costs and benefits of artificial closure.
\nThis report for breach management presents protocols which specify when breach closures within the FIIS might be desirable and necessary, as well as provides recommendations for structural breach closure engineering operations which are indented to minimize negative impacts to the natural wilderness values and cultural resources within the FIIS, particularly the Otis Pike Wilderness Area. The goal of the plan is to strike a balance between protecting natural resources and allowing natural processes to operate and avoiding loss of life and excessive property damage.

The Mesaverde Formation \nspans the time during which the Upper Cretaceous seaway \nretreated eastward out of central Wyoming in Campanian time \nand the initial stages of the Lewis transgression in earliest \nMaastrichtian time. This retreat stalled for a considerable \nperiod of time during deposition of the lower part of the \nMesaverde, creating a thick buildup of marginal marine \nsandstones and coaly coastal plain deposits across the western \npart of the basin. \nThe Lewis sea transgressed into the northeast part of \nWind River Basin, beginning in early Maastrichtian time \nduring deposition of the Teapot Sandstone Member of the \nMesaverde Formation. The Meeteetse Formation, which \noverlies the Teapot, was deposited in a poorly-drained coastal \nplain setting southwest of the Lewis seaway. The Lewis \nseaway, at maximum transgression, covered much of the \nnortheast half of the Wind River Basin area but was clearly \ndeflected around the present site of the Wind River Range, \nsouthwest of the basin, providing the first direct evidence of \nLaramide uplift on that range. \nUplift of the Wind River Range continued during \ndeposition of the overlying Maastrichtian Lance Formation. \nThe Granite Mountains south of the basin also became a \npositive feature during this time. A rapidly subsiding trough \nduring the Maastrichtian time formed near the presentday trough of the Wind River Basin in which more than \n6,000 feet of Lance was deposited. The development of this \ntrough appears to have begun before the adjacent Owl Creek \nMountains to the north started to rise; however, a muddy \nfacies in the upper part of Lance in the deep subsurface, just to \nthe south, might be interpreted to indicate that the Cretaceous \nCody Shale was being eroded off a rising Owl Creek \nMountains in latest Cretaceous time. \nThe Paleocene Fort Union Formation unconformably \noverlies older units but with only slight angular discordance \naround much of the margins of the Wind River Basin. Pre-Fort Union erosion was most pronounced toward the Wind \nRiver Range to the southwest, where the Fort Union ultimately \noverlies strata as old as the upper part of the Cretaceous Cody \nShale. The unconformity appears to die out toward the basin \ncenter. Coal-forming mires developed throughout the western \npart of the basin near the beginning of the Paleocene. River \nsystems entering the basin from the Wind River Range to the \nsouthwest and the Granite Mountains to the south produced \nareas of sandy fluvial deposition along mountain fronts. A \nmajor river system appears to have entered the basin from \nabout the same spot along the Wind River Range throughout \nmuch of the Paleocene, probably because it became incised \nand could not migrate laterally. The muddy floodplain \nfacies that developed along the deep basin trough during \nlatest Cretaceous time, expanded during the early part of the \nPaleocene. Coal-forming mires that characterize part of the \nlower Fort Union Formation reached maximum extent near \nthe beginning of the late Paleocene and just prior to the initial \ntransgression of Lake Waltman. \nFrom the time of initial flooding, Lake Waltman \nexpanded rapidly, drowning the coal-forming mires in \nthe central part of the basin and spreading to near basin \nmargins. Outcrop studies along the south margin of the basin \ndocument that once maximum transgression was reached, the \nlake was rapidly pushed basinward and replaced by fluvial \nenvironments.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming (Data Series 69-J)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ds69J10","collaboration":"This report is Chapter 10 in Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming.

Debris flows appear to be the dominant type of mass movement, although some translational slides have also been identified. Areas affected by mass movements range in size from less than 9 km2 to greater than 15,200 km2 and reach measured thicknesses of up to 70 m. Failures are seen to originate on either the open-slope or in submarine canyons. Slope-sourced failures are larger than canyonsourced failures, suggesting they have a higher potential for tsunami generation although the volume of material displaced during individual failure events still needs to be refined. The slope-sourced failures are most common offshore of the northern, glaciated part of the coast, but others are found downslope of shelf-edge deltas and near salt diapirs, suggesting that several geological conditions control their distribution.

The processes associated with the Yellowstone hotspot are volcanism, faulting, and uplift and are observed in the geology at the surface. We attribute the driving forces responsible for the northeastward progression of these processes to a thermal plume rising through the Earth’s mantle into the base of the southwest-moving North American plate. This progression began 16 million years ago (Ma) near the Nevada-Oregon border and arrived at Yellowstone about 2 Ma. Before arrival of the hotspot, an older landscape existed, particularly mountains created during the Laramide orogeny about 70–50 Ma and volcanic terrain formed by Absaroka andesitic volcanism mostly between 50–45 Ma. These landscapes were more muted than the present, hotspot-modified landscape because the Laramide-age mountains had worn down and an erosion surface of low relief had developed on the Absaroka volcanic terrain.
\nThe Yellowstone Plateau was built by hotspot volcanism of rhyolitic lavas and caldera-forming rhyolite tuffs (ignimbrites). Streams eroding back into the edges of this plateau have created scenic waterfalls and canyons such as the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Lewis Canyon. Rhyolite is poor in plant nutrients and forms sandy, well-drained soils that support the monotonous, fire-adapted lodgepole pine forests of the Yellowstone Plateau. Non-rhyolitic rocks surround this plateau and sustain more varied vegetation, including spruce, fir, and whitebark pine forests broken by grassy meadows. Heat from the hotspot rises upward and drives Yellowstone’s famed geysers, hot springs, and mudpots. These thermal waters are home to specialized, primitive ecosystems, rich in algae and bacteria. The rock alteration associated with hydrothermal systems creates the bright colors of Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon.
\nBasin-and-range-style faulting has accompanied migration of the hotspot to Yellowstone and formed the linear mountains and valleys that occur north and south of the hotspot track, which is the present-day eastern Snake River Plain. High rates of basin-and-range faulting occurred adjacent to the migrating Yellowstone hotspot, creating distinctive landscapes within the GYE such as the Teton Range/Jackson Hole, with characteristic rugged, forested ranges and adjacent flat-floored grassy valleys. The difference in altitude between the mountains and valleys provides a topographic gradient in which vegetation maturation advances with altitude; animal-migration patterns also follow this trend. The valleys provide natural meadows, agricultural land, town sites, and corridors for roads.
\nUplift of the GYE by as much as 1 km (3,000 ft) during the last 5 million years has resulted in ongoing erosion of deep, steep-walled valleys. Many prominent ecological characteristics of Yellowstone derive from this hotspot-induced uplift, including the moderate- to high- altitude terrain and associated cool temperatures and deep snowfall.
\nModern and Pleistocene climate and associated vegetation patterns strongly relate to the topography created by the hotspot and its track along the eastern Snake River Plain. Winter air masses from the moist northern Pacific Ocean traverse the topographic low of the Snake River Plain to where orographic rise onto the Yellowstone Plateau and adjacent mountains produces deep snow. A winter precipitation shadow forms on the lee (eastern) sides of the GYE. During Pleistocene glacial times, this moisture conduit provided by the hotspot-track-produced ice-age glaciers that covered the core of the present GYE. These glaciers sculpted bedrock and produced glacial moraines that are both forested and unforested, sand and gravel of ice-marginal streams and outwash gravels that are commonly covered with sagebrush-grassland, and silty lake sediments that are commonly covered by lush grassland such as Hayden Valley.
\nThe effects of the Yellowstone hotspot also profoundly shaped the human history in the GYE. Uplift associated with the hotspot elevates the GYE to form the Continental Divide, and streams drain radially outward like spokes from a hub. Inhabitants of the GYE 12,000–10,000 years ago, as well as more recent inhabitants, followed the seasonal green-up of plants and migrating animals up into the mountain areas. During European immigration, people settled around Yellowstone in the lower parts of the drainages and established roads, irrigation systems, and cultural associations. The core Yellowstone highland is too harsh for agriculture and inhospitable to people in the winter. Beyond this core, urban and rural communities exist in valleys and are separated by upland areas. The partitioning inhibits any physical connection of communities, which in turn complicates pursuit of common interests across the whole GYE. Settlements thus geographically isolated evolved as diverse, independent communities

Within the province boundary, the Phosphoria \nis thin and only locally rich in organic carbon. Phosphoria oil \nproduced from reservoirs in the province is thought to have \nmigrated from the Wyoming and Idaho thrust belt. \nLocations (wells) selected for burial history \nreconstructions include three in the deepest parts of the \nprovince (Adams OAB-17, Bighorn 1-5, and Coastal Owl \nCreek); three at intermediate depths (Hells Half Acre, Shell \n33X-10, and West Poison Spider); and three at relatively \nshallow locations (Young Ranch, Amoco Unit 100, and \nConoco-Coal Bank). The thermal maturity of source rocks is \ngreatest in the deep northern and central parts of the province \nand decreases to the south and east toward the basin margins. \nThe results of the modeling indicate that, in the deepest areas, \n(1) peak petroleum generation from Cretaceous rocks occurred \nfrom Late Cretaceous through middle Eocene time, and (2) \nonset of oil generation from the Waltman Shale Member \noccurred from late Eocene to early Miocene time. \nBased on modeling results, gas generation from the \ncracking of Phosphoria oil reservoired in the Park City \nFormation reached a peak in the late Paleocene/early Eocene \n(58 to 55 Ma) only in the deepest parts of the province. The \nMowry Shale and Cody Shale (in the eastern half of the basin) \ncontain a mix of Type-II and Type-III kerogens. Oil generation \nfrom predominantly Type-II source rocks of these units in the \ndeepest parts of the province reached peak rates during the \nlatest Cretaceous to early Eocene (65 to 55 Ma). Only in these \nareas of the basin did these units reach peak gas generation \nfrom the cracking of oil, which occurred in the early to middle \nEocene (55 to 42 Ma). \nGas-prone source rocks of the Mowry and Cody Shales \n(predominantly Type-III kerogen), and the Mesaverde, \nMeeteetse, Lance, and Fort Union Formations (Type –III \nkerogen) reached peak gas generation in the latest Cretaceous \nto late Eocene (67 to 38 Ma) in the deepest parts of the \nprovince. Gas generation from the Mesaverde source rocks \nstarted at all of the modeled locations but reached peak \ngeneration at only the deepest locations and at the Hells Half \nAcre location in the middle Paleocene to early Eocene (59 to \n48 Ma). Also at the deepest locations, peak gas generation \noccurred from the late Paleocene to the early Eocene (57 to \n49 Ma) for the Meeteetse Formation, and during the Eocene \nfor the Lance Formation (55 to 48 Ma) and the Fort Union \nFormation (44 to 38 Ma). \nThe Waltman Shale Member of the Fort Union Formation \ncontains Type-II kerogen. The base of the Waltman reached a \nlevel of thermal maturity to generate oil only at the deep-basin \nlocations (Adams OAB-17 and Bighorn 1-5 locations) in the \nmiddle Eocene to early Miocene (36 to 20 Ma).","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming (Data Series 69-J)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ds69J6","collaboration":"This report is Chapter 6 in Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming.

Summary
This report presents a review of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 2007 assessment of the undiscovered oil and gas resources in Paleogene strata underlying the U.S. Gulf of Mexico Coastal Plain and state waters. Geochemical, geologic, geophysical, thermal maturation, burial history, and paleontologic studies have been combined with regional cross sections and data from previous USGS petroleum assessments have helped to define the major petroleum systems and assessment units. Accumulations of both conventional oil and gas and continuous coal-bed gas within these petroleum systems have been digitally mapped and evaluated, and undiscovered resources have been assessed following USGS methodology.
The primary source intervals for oil and gas in Paleogene (and Cenozoic) reservoirs are coal and shale rich in organic matter within the Wilcox Group (Paleocene-Eocene) and Sparta Formation of the Claiborne Group (Eocene); in addition, Cretaceous and Jurassic source rocks probably have contributed substantial petroleum to Paleogene (and Cenozoic) reservoirs.
For the purposes of the assessment, Paleogene strata have divided into the following four stratigraphic study intervals: (1) Wilcox Group (including the Midway Group and the basal Carrizo Sand of the Claiborne Group; Paleocene-Eocene); (2) Claiborne Group (Eocene); (3) Jackson and Vicksburg Groups (Eocene-Oligocene); and (4) the Frio-Anahuac Formations (Oligocene). Recent discoveries of coal-bed gas in Paleocene strata confirm a new petroleum system that was not recognized in previous USGS assessments. In total, 26 conventional Paleogene assessment units are defined. In addition, four Cretaceous-Paleogene continuous (coal-bed gas) assessment units are included in this report. Initial results of the assessment will be released as USGS Fact Sheets (not available at the time of this writing).
Comprehensive reports for each assessment unit are planned to be released via the internet and distributed on CD-ROMs within the next year.

Paper"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":19,"text":"Conference Paper"},"title":"Nitrate in aquifers beneath agricultural systems","docAbstract":"Research from several regions of the world provides spatially anecdotal evidence to hypothesize which hydrologic and agricultural factors contribute to groundwater vulnerability to nitrate contamination. Analysis of nationally consistent measurements from the U.S. Geological Survey's NAWQA program confirms these hypotheses for a substantial range of agricultural systems. Shallow unconfined aquifers are most susceptible to nitrate contamination associated with agricultural systems. Alluvial and other unconsolidated aquifers are the most vulnerable and also shallow carbonate aquifers that provide a substantial but smaller contamination risk. Where any of these aquifers are overlain by permeable soils the risk of contamination is larger. Irrigated systems can compound this vulnerability by increasing leaching facilitated by additional recharge and additional nutrient applications. The system of corn, soybean, and hogs produced significantly larger concentrations of groundwater nitrate than all other agricultural systems because this system imports the largest amount of N-fertilizer per unit production area. Mean nitrate under dairy, poultry, horticulture, and cattle and grains systems were similar. If trends in the relation between increased fertilizer use and groundwater nitrate in the United States are repeated in other regions of the world, Asia may experience increasing problems because of recent increases in fertilizer use. Groundwater monitoring in Western and Eastern Europe as well as Russia over the next decade may provide data to determine if the trend in increased nitrate contamination can be reversed. If the concentrated livestock trend in the United States is global, it may be accompanied by increasing nitrogen contamination in groundwater. Concentrated livestock provide both point sources in the confinement area and intense non-point sources as fields close to facilities are used for manure disposal. Regions where irrigated cropland is expanding, such as in Asia, may experience the greatest impact of this practice on groundwater nitrate. ??

Current operational methods and the storm surge and inundation products do not adequately meet requirements needed by Emergency Managers (EMs) at local, state, and federal levels to protect and inform our citizens. The Chesapeake Bay Inundation Prediction System (CIPS) is being developed to improve the accuracy, reliability, and capability of flooding forecasts for tropical cyclones and non-tropical wind systems such as nor'easters by modeling and visualizing expected on-land storm-surge inundation along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. An initial prototype has been developed by a team of government, academic and industry partners through the Chesapeake Bay Observing System (CBOS) of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (MACOORA) within the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). For demonstration purposes, this initial prototype was developed for the tidal Potomac River in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The preliminary information from this prototype shows great potential as a mechanism by which NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Offices (WFOs) can provide more specific and timely forecasts of likely inundation in individual localities from significant storm surge events. This prototype system has shown the potential to indicate flooding at the street level, at time intervals of an hour or less, and with vertical resolution of one foot or less. This information will significantly improve the ability of EMs and first responders to mitigate life and property loss and improve evacuation capabilities in individual communities. This paper provides an update and expansion of the initial prototype that was presented at the Oceans 2006 MTS/IEEE Conference in Boston, MA. ??2007 MTS.","largerWorkTitle":"Oceans Conference Record

in southwestern Laurentia","docAbstract":"Numerous studies have shown that large quantities of Grenville-age detritus dominate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian arenites in southwest Laurentia (southwestern United States). U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of zircons and 40Ar/39Ar ages of white mica from clastic sedimentary rocks of the Neoproterozoic Uinta Mountain Group also indicate significant Mesoproterozoic detritus mixed with a variably abundant Archean component. Zircons with ages representative of the Paleoproterozoic basement in the eastern Uinta Mountains or the younger Paleoproterozoic rocks of the adjacent Yavapai-Mazatzal terranes were not observed. A limited range of initial ϵHf (∼90% between –3 and +3) for Mesoproterozoic zircons suggests derivation from a source region (or regions) characterized by mixing between juvenile and reworked older crust during Grenville orogenesis. The enriched Grenville-age basement proposed to underlie much of southeastern North America may be this source based on similarities of Hf isotopic data from Mesoproterozoic zircons in Mississippi River sand and available paleocurrent data. If so, then disruption of this supply in the Cambrian may be related to Iapetan rifting and, perhaps, the separation of the Precordillera terrane from Laurentia.
The White River altered area, Washington, and the Goldfield mining district, Nevada, are nearly contemporaneous Tertiary (ca. 20 Ma) calc-alkaline igneous centers with large exposures of shallow (<1 km depth) magmatic-hydrothermal, acid-sulfate alteration. Goldfield is the largest known high-sulfidation gold deposit in North America. At White River, silica is the only commodity exploited to date, but, based on its similarities with Goldfield, White River may have potential for concealed precious and/or base metal deposits at shallow depth. Both areas are products of the ancestral Cascade arc. Goldfield lies within the Great Basin physiographic province in an area of middle Miocene and younger Basin and Range and Walker Lane faulting, whereas White River is largely unaffected by young faults. However, west-northwest–striking magnetic anomalies at White River do correspond with mapped faults synchronous with magmatism, and other linear anomalies may reflect contemporaneous concealed faults. The White River altered area lies immediately south of the west-northwest–striking White River fault zone and north of a postulated fault with similar orientation. Structural data from the White River altered area indicate that alteration developed synchronously with an anomalous stress field conducive to left-lateral, strike-slip displacement on west-northwest–striking faults. Thus, the White River alteration may have developed in a transient transtensional region between the two strike-slip faults, analogous to models proposed for Goldfield and other mineral deposits in transverse deformational zones. Gravity and magnetic anomalies provide evidence for a pluton beneath the White River altered area that may have provided heat and fluids to overlying volcanic rocks. East– to east-northeast–striking extensional faults and/or fracture zones in the step-over region, also expressed in magnetic anomalies, may have tapped this intrusion and provided vertical and lateral transport of fluids to now silicified areas. By analogy to Goldfield, geophysical anomalies at the White River altered area may serve as proxies for geologic mapping in identifying faults, fractures, and intrusions relevant to hydrothermal alteration and ore formation in areas of poor exposure.
