Preliminary hydraulic analysis and implications for restoration of Noyes Slough, Fairbanks, Alaska
Robert L. Burrows, Dustin E. Langley, David M. Evetts
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4227
The present-day channels of the Chena River and Noyes Slough in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska, were formed as sloughs of the Tanana River, and part of the flow of the Tanana River occupied these waterways. Flow in these channels was reduced after the completion of Moose Creek Dike in 1945, and...
Physical characteristics of dungeness crab and halibut habitats in Whidbey Passage, Alaska

2000, Open-File Report 2000-32
In Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska there are ongoing studies of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) and Pacific Halibut (Hippoglosus stenolepis). Scientists of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are attempting to ascertain life history, distribution, and abundance, and to determine the effects of commercial fishing in the park (Carlson et...

Geologic map of the Wildcat Lake 7.5' quadrangle, Kitsap and Mason Counties, Washington
Peter J. Haeussler, Kenneth P. Clark
2000, Open-File Report 2000-356
The Wildcat Lake quadrangle lies in the forearc of the Cascadia subduction zone, about 20-km east of the Cascadia accretionary complex exposed in the Olympic Mountains (Tabor and Cady, 1978),and about 100-km west of the axis of the Cascades volcanic arc. The quadrangle lies near the middle of the Puget...
Nitrate source indicators in ground water of the Scimitar Subdivision, Peters Creek area, Anchorage, Alaska
Bronwen Wang, Pat M. Strelakos, Brett Jokela
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4137
A combination of aqueous chemistry, isotopic measurement, and in situ tracers were used to study the possible nitrate sources, the factors contributing to the spatial distribution of nitrate, and possible septic system influence in the ground water in the Scimitar Subdivision, Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska. Two water types were distinguished...

Mass balance, meteorological, ice motion, surface altitude, runoff, and ice thickness data at Gulkana Glacier, Alaska, 1995 balance year
Rod S. March
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4074
The 1995 measured winter snow, maximum winter snow, net, and annual balances in the Gulkana Glacier basin were evaluated on the basis of meteorological, hydrological, and glaciological data obtained in the basin. Averaged over the glacier, the measured winter snow balance was 0.94 meter on April 19, 1995, 0.6 standard...
Selected organic compounds and trace elements in streambed sediments and fish tissues, Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska
Steven A. Frenzel
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4004
Organochlorines, semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and trace elements were investigated in streambed sediments and fish tissues at selected sites in the Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska, during 1998. At most sites, SVOCs and organochlorine compounds were either not detected or detected at very low concentrations. Chester Creek at Arctic Boulevard at...

Warren J. Nokleberg, Leonid M. Parfenov, James W.H. Monger, Ian O. Norton, Alexander I. Khanchuk, David B. Stone, Christopher R. Scotese, David W. Scholl, Kazuya Fujita
2000, Professional Paper 1626
The Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of the Circum-North Pacific is recorded mainly in the orogenic collages of the Circum-North Pacific mountain belts that separate the North Pacific from the eastern part of the North Asian Craton and the western part of the North American Craton. These collages consist of tectonostratigraphic terranes...
Geologic map of the Christian quadrangle, Alaska
W. P. Brosge, H. N. Reiser
2000, Open-File Report 2000-192
Most of the Christian quadrangle is in the Porcupine Plateau; the northwestern part is in the southern Brooks Range, and the southern quarter is in the Yukon Flats. Outcrops of bedrock are poor or lacking, except in the Brooks Range. Although large valley glaciers have moved through the Porcupine Plateau,...
Environmental and hydrologic overview of the Yukon River basin, Alaska and Canada
Timothy P. Brabets, Bronwen Wang, Robert H. Meade
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4204
The Yukon River, located in northwestern Canada and central Alaska, drains an area of more than 330,000 square miles, making it the fourth largest drainage basin in North America. Approximately 126,000 people live in this basin and 10 percent of these people maintain a subsistence lifestyle, depending on the basin's...

Survival of adult murres and kittiwakes in relation to forage fish abundance
John F. Piatt
2000, Report
Some seabird populations damaged by the Exxon Valdez oil spill continue to decline or are not recovering. In order to understand the ultimate cause of seabird population fluctuations, we must measure productivity, recruitment, and adult survival. Recent APEX studies focused on measuring productivity only. Recruitment measurement demands an unrealistic study...

Microsatellite analyses of San Franciscuito Creek rainbow trout
Jennifer L. Nielsen
2000, Report
Microsatellite genetic diversity found in San Francisquito Creek rainbow trout support a close genetic relationship with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from another tributary of San Francisco Bay, Alameda Creek, and coastal trout found in Lagunitas Creek, Marin County, California. Fish collected for this study from San Francisquito Creek showed a...
Migration of the Acadian Orogen and foreland basin across the Northern Appalachians of Maine and adjacent areas
Dwight Culver Bradley, Robert D. Tucker, Daniel R. Lux, Anita G. Harris, D. Colin McGregor
2000, Professional Paper 1624
The timing of Acadian orogenesis in Maine is reassessed, on the basis of a new Silurian-Devonian time scale, new U/Pb and 40Ar/39Ar ages of Acadian plutons, new conodont and palynomorph ages of strata that constrain the age of deformation, and published information. This analysis shows that the Acadian deformation front...
