Sosunov, David B. Stone, Rowland W. Tabor, Nickolai V. Tsukanov, Tracy L. Vallier
1998, Open-File Report 98-136
This report is part of a project on the major mineral deposits, metallogenesis, and tectonics of the Russian Far East, Alaska, and the Canadian Cordillera. The project is to provide critical information for collaborators and customers on bedrock geology and geophysics, tectonics, major metalliferous mineral resources, metallogenic patterns, and crustal...
MAS/MILS Arc/Info point coverage for the western U.S. (excluding Hawaii)
J. Douglas Causey
1998, Open-File Report 98-512
The U.S. Geological Survey has two international and one regional digital database that contains information on mineral properties. This report describes the conversion of selected data from one of the international databases - MAS/MILS (Mineral Availability System/Mineral Industry Location System) - into a spatial data product. The MAS/MILS database, obtained...
Assessment of the potential for biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the Railroad Industrial Area, Fairbanks, Alaska
Joan F. Braddock, Peter H. Catterall, Sharon A. Richmond
1998, Open-File Report 98-287
Many technologies for the clean-up of petroleum-hydrocarbon contaminated sites depend on microbial degradation of the pollutant. In these technologies the site may be modified to enhance microbial activity, or may simply be monitored for naturally occurring microbial activity. In either case, an important aspect of site assessment for these technologies...
Stratiform zinc-lead mineralization in Nasina assemblage rocks of the Yukon-Tanana Upland in east-central Alaska
Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, Jason R. Bressler, Hidetoshi Takaoka, James K. Mortensen, Douglas H. Oliver, Joel S. Leventhal, Rainer J. Newberry, Thomas K. Bundtzen
1998, Open-File Report 98-340
The Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska and Yukon comprises thrust sheets of ductilely deformed metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks of uncertain age and origin that are overlain by klippen of weakly metamorphosed oceanic rocks of the Seventymile-Slide Mountain terrane, and intruded by post-kinematic Early Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary granitoids. Metamorphosed continental...
Deformation across the rupture zone of the 1964 Alaska earthquake, 1993–1997
James C. Savage, Jerry L. Svarc, W.H. Prescott, W.K. Gross
1998, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (103) 21275-21283
A linear array of 15 geodetic monuments was installed in 1993 across the rupture zone of the 1964 Alaska earthquake (Mw = 9.2). The array extends from Middleton Island (at the edge of the continental shelf and 80 km from the Alaska‐Aleutian trench) to north of Palmer, Alaska (380 km from...
Geology of the conterminous United States at 1:2,500,000 scale a digital representation of the 1974 P.B. King and H.M. Beikman map
Paul G. Schruben, Raymond E. Arndt, Walter J. Bawiec
1998, Data Series 11
This CD-ROM contains a digital version of the Geologic Map of the United States, originally published at a scale of 1:2,500,000 (King and Beikman, 1974b). It excludes Alaska and Hawaii. In addition to the graphical formats, the map key is included in ASCII text. A geographic information system (GIS) allows...
Preliminary volcano-hazard assessment for Augustine Volcano, Alaska
Christopher F. Waythomas, Richard B. Waitt
1998, Open-File Report 98-106
Augustine Volcano is a 1250-meter high stratovolcano in southwestern Cook Inlet about 280 kilometers southwest of Anchorage and within about 300 kilometers of more than half of the population of Alaska. Explosive eruptions have occurred six times since the early 1800s (1812, 1883, 1935, 1964-65, 1976, and 1986). The 1976...
Killer whale predation on sea otters linking oceanic and nearshore ecosystems
J. A. Estes, M. T. Tinker, T. M. Williams, D.F. Doak
1998, Science (282) 473-476
After nearly a century of recovery from overhunting, sea otter populations are in abrupt decline over large areas of western Alaska. Increased killer whale predation is the likely cause of these declines. Elevated sea urchin density and the consequent deforestation of kelp beds in the nearshore community demonstrate that the...
Hydrologic investigation of the Ophir Creek watershed near Yakutat, Alaska
Edward G. Neal
1998, Open-File Report 98-199
Data on streamflow and ground-water levels were collected in the Ophir Creek watershed in southeast Alaska to obtain information about the relations between streamflow, ground-water levels, and precipitation. In addition, the possible effect of an experimental channel excavation to increase flows in Ophir Creek was evaluated. Stream discharges were monitored...
Mass balance, meteorological, ice motion, surface altitude, and runoff data at Gulkana Glacier, Alaska, 1994 balance year
Rod S. March
1998, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4251
The 1994 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 1.34 meters on April 29, 1994, 0.9 standard...
Attacks on sea otters by killer whales
Brian B. Hatfield, Dennis Marks, M. Tim Tinker, Kellie Nolan, Joshua Peirce
1998, Marine Mammal Science (14) 888-894
Few references to attacks on sea otters, Enhydra lutris, by killer whales, Orcinus orca, exist in the literature. In an extensive review of predatory and non-predatory interactions between killer whales and other marine mammals, Jefferson et al. (1991) cited only one reference (Nikolaev 1965) in which killer whales aggressively pursued...
Tertiary uplift of the Mt. Doonerak antiform, central Brooks Range, Alaska: Apatite fission track evidence from the Trans-Alaska crustal transect
P. B. O’Sullivan, Thomas E. Moore, J.M. Murphy
J. S. Oldow, H.G. Ave Lallemant, editor(s)
1998, Book chapter, Architecture of a fold and thrust belt: Central Brooks Range, Arctic Alaska
The Mt. Doonerak antiform is a northeast-trending, doubly plunging antiform located along the axial part of the central Brooks Range. This antiform is a crustal-scale duplex estimated to have a vertical displacement of ~15 km. The antiform folds the Amawk thrust, which separates relatively less displaced lower plate rocks in...
