1994, Open-File Report 94-310
The Federal Aviation Administration facility at Moses Point is located at the mouth of the Kwiniuk River on the Seward Peninsula in northwestern Alaska.

Seismic hazards at Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, Hawaii
F. W. Klein
1994, Open-File Report 94-216
A significant seismic hazard exists in south Hawaii from large tectonic earthquakes that can reach magnitude 8 and intensity XII. This paper quantifies the hazard by estimating the horizontal peak ground acceleration (PGA) in south Hawaii which occurs with a 90% probability of not being exceeded during exposure times from...

Information about environmental conditions at King Salmon, Alaska are presented in this report. This report gives an overview of the geology, hydro- logy, and climate of the King Salmon area...
Remote sensing and airborne geophysics in the assessment of natural aggregate resources
D. H. Knepper Jr., W. H. Langer, S.H. Miller
1994, Open-File Report 94-158
Natural aggregate made from crushed stone and deposits of sand and gravel is a vital element of the construction industry in the United States. Although natural aggregate is a high volume/low value commodity that is relatively abundant, new sources of aggregate are becoming increasingly difficult to find and develop because of rigid industry...

An overview of sea otter studies

Thomas R. Loughlin, editor(s)
1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
The Exxron Valdez oil spill (EVOS) on 24 March 1989 threatened extensive areas of prime sea otter (Enhydra lutris) habitat along the coasts of south-central Alaska. The spill occurred in northeastern Prince William Sound (PWS), and oil moved rapidly south and west through PWS into the Gulf of Alaska. Much...
Pathology of sea otters

Thomas R. Loughlin, editor(s)
1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
In the months following the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), 994 sea otters (Enhydra lutris) from oil-spill-affected areas died (Doroff et al. 1993). Carcasses collected from these areas and otters that died in rehabilitation centers are included in this number. The actual number that died was probably much greater.Within days...
US North Slope gas and Asian LNG markets
E. D. Attanasi
1994, Resources Policy (20) 247-255
Prospects for export of liquified natural gas (LNG) from Alaska's North Slope are assessed. Projected market conditions to 2010 show that new LNG capacity beyond announced expansions will be needed to meet regional demand and that supplies will probably come from outside the region. The estimated delivered costs of likely...
An intersection model for estimating sea otter mortality along the Kenai Peninsula
James L. Bodkin, Mark S. Udevitz
Thomas R. Loughlin, editor(s)
1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
We developed an intersection model to integrate parameters estimated from three distinct data sets that resulted from the Exxon Valdez oil spill: (1) the distribution, amount, and movements of spilled oil; (2) the distribution and abundance of sea otters along the Kenai Peninsula; and (3) the estimates of site-specific sea otter mortality...

Mt. Spurr's 1992 eruptions
1993, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (74) 217-222
On June 27, 1992, the Crater Peak vent on the south side of Mt. Spurr awoke from 39 years of dormancy and burst into subplinian eruption after 10 months of elevated seismicity. Two more eruptions followed in August and September. The volcano lies 125-km west of...
Comparison of deep structure along three transects of the western North American continental margin
Gary S. Fuis, R.M. Clowes
1993, Tectonics (12) 1420-1435
Similarities in geology and potential field data that have in the past been noted among the regions of southern Alaska, southern Vancouver Island, and central California are now seen to be accompanied by similarities in deep crustal structure. A number of tectonic elements have been identified in the deep structure...
Resistance of young wolf pups to inclement weather
L.D. Mech
1993, Journal of Mammalogy (74) 485-486
Three observations of young wolf (Canis lupus) pups in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, and two on Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, indicate that pups <33 days of age are highly resistant to inclement weather, contrary to earlier conjecture....

Distribution, facies, ages, and proposed tectonic associations of regionally metamorphosed rocks in east- and south-central Alaska

1993, Professional Paper 1497-C
Most of the exposed bedrock in east- and south-central Alaska has been regionally metamorphosed and deformed during Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time. All the regionally metamorphosed rocks are assigned to metamorphic-facies units on the basis of their temperature and pressure conditions and metamorphic age. North of the McKinley and Denali...

1993, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1996-E
Exploratory geochemical sampling was done in 1979, 1980, and 1981. The collection of composite samples of stream sediment or glacial debris was emphasized the first 2 years; the last year was spent collecting mineralized stream pebbles, float, and outcrop samples. The stream-sediment and heavy- mineral-concentrate samples were collected at 795...
