Submarine topography and physiography of lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Arnold H. Bouma
1981, Open-File Report 81-1335
The submarine topography of lower Cook Inlet, Alaska, is complex because the bathymetric aspects and water depths change rapidly over short distances. The folded upper Tertiary subbottom was eroded during the first of five major Quaternary glacial advances over the inlet, and later fluvial, fluvioglacial, glacial, and marine erosional and...
