Occurrences of copper minerals in Alaska
1982, Open-File Report 82-1029
The following references give data, as of June 1, 1982, on localities where copper minerals have been found in Alaska. References are keyed by number to locations shown on the accompanying map. An asterisk (*) preceding a locality name indicates recorded production.In most instances the report(s) cited for each occurrence...
Temperatures and interval geothermal-gradient determinations from wells in National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
D.C. Blanchard, I.L. Tailleur
1982, Open-File Report 82-391
Temperature and related records from 28 wells in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) although somewhat constrained from accuracy by data gathering methods, extrapolate to undisturbed formation temperatures at specific depths below permafrost, and lead to calculated geothermal gradients between these depths. Tabulation of the results show that extrapolated...
Earthquake history of the United States
Jerry L. Coffman, Carl A. Von Hake, Carl W. Stover
Jerry L. Coffman, Carl A. von Hake, Carl W. Stover, editor(s)
1982, Publication 41-1
This publication is a history of the prominent earthquakes in the United States from historical times through 1970. It supersedes all previous editions with the same or similar titles (see page ii) and, in addition to updating earthquake listings through 1970, contains several additions and corrections to previous issues. It...
Recent trends in the west Greenland salmon fishery, and implications for Thick-billed Murres
John F. Piatt, David G. Reddin
1982, Conference Paper, Marine birds: Their feeding ecology and commercial fisheries relationships
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a high net-mortality of seabirds, particularly Thick-billed Murres (Uria lomvia), was associated with the west Greenland salmon fishery. Since 1972, the domestic fishery has been controlled by quotas and fishery opening dates and non-Greenlandic offshore drift-net fishery was phased out in 1975. These...
Net-mortality of Common Murres and Atlantic Puffins in Newfoundland, 1951-81
John F. Piatt, David N. Nettleship, William Threlfall
David N. Nettleship, Gerald A. Sanger, Paul F. Springer, editor(s)
1982, Conference Paper, Marine birds: Their feeding ecology and commercial fisheries relationships
Band recoveries (N = 315) over 26 years (1951-77) and three surveys of seabird bycatch in inshore fishing nets (1972, 1980-81) indicate that there has been a substantial net-mortality of Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) and Common Murres (Uria aalge) in Newfoundland coastal waters for the past 2 decades. Offshore (e.g....
Marine ice-pushed boulder ridge, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
Peter W. Barnes
1982, Arctic (35) 312-316
A steep-faced boulder ridge up to 4m high by 300m long was encountered along the arctic coast east of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in the summer of 1979. Marine occurrences of similar ridges are rare. Since ice-push sorts cobble- and boulder-sized material in the construction of a ridge, recent onshore excursions of ice due to wind stress on the fast ice...
Terranes and suture zones in east central Alaska
M. Churkin Jr., H.L. Foster, R. M. Chapman, F. R. Weber
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 3718-3730
East central Alaska, with its 17 terranes, forms a part of the mosaic of allochthonous terranes that join the North American and Siberian plates. These terranes range from continental and continental margin, such as the Tatonduk with its thick well-bedded succession of marine shelf rocks, to seamount, arc, and ocean...
A 40-foot static cone penetrometer
R.M. Beard, H.J. Lee
1982, Conference Paper
The Navy needs a lightweight device for testing seafloor soils to sub bottom depths of 12 meters in water depths to 60 meters. To meet this need a quasistatic cone penetration device that uses water jetting to reduce friction on the cone rod has been developed. This device is called...
Active geologic processes in Barrow Canyon, northeast Chukchi Sea
Stephen Eittreim, Arthur Grantz, Jonathan Greenberg
1982, Marine Geology (50) 61-76
Circulation patterns on the shelf and at the shelf break appear to dominate the Barrow Canyon system. The canyon's shelf portion underlies and is maintained by the Alaska Coastal Current (A.C.C.), which flows northeastward along the coast toward the northeast corner of the broad Chukchi Sea. Offshelf and onshelf advective...
Susitna Hydroelectric Project: terrestrial environmental workshop and preliminary simulation model
Robert R. Everitt, Nicholas C. Sonntag, Gregory T. Auble, James E. Roelle, William Gazey
1982, Report
The technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impacts of a hydroelectric development project in the Susitna River Basin are being studied by Acres American, Inc. on behalf of the Alaska Power Authority. As part of these studies, Acres American recently contracted LGL Alaska Research Associates, Inc. to coordinate the terrestrial...
Sedimentation and deformation in the Amlia Fracture Zone sector of the Aleutian Trench
D.W. Scholl, T.L. Vallier, A.J. Stevenson
1982, Marine Geology (48) 105-134
A wedge-shaped, landward thickening mass of sedimentary deposits composed chiefly of terrigenous turbidite beds underlies the west-south west-trending Amlia sector (172°20′–173°30′W) of the Aleutian Trench. Pacific oceanic crust dips northward beneath the sector's sedimentary wedge and obliquely underthrusts (30° off normal) the adjacent Aleutian Ridge. The trench floor and subsurface...
Submarine valleys in the northeastern Gulf of Alaska: Characteristics and probable origin
Paul R. Carlson, Terry R. Bruns, Bruce F. Molnia, W.C. Schwab
1982, Marine Geology (47) 217-242
The continental shelf of the northeastern Gulf of Alaska Between Prince William Sound and Cross Sound is cut by at least eight major valleys. From west to east, these are Hinchinbrook Seavalley, Egg Island Trough, Kayak Trough, Bering Trough, Pamplona Troughs, Yakutat Valley, Alsek Valley and Yakobi Valley. Evidence common...
Age determination of late Pleistocene marine transgression in western Alaska
Barney J. Szabo
1982, Marine Geology (46) M1-M8
Dating molluscs from sediments representing the Kotzebuan marine transgression in Alaska yields an average uranium-series age of 104,000 ± 22,000 yrs B.P. This and other selected Pleistocene marine deposits of western Alaska are tentatively correlated with radiometrically dated units of eastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada....
Ancient plate boundaries in the Bering Sea region
M. S. Marlow, Alan K. Cooper, David W. Scholl, H. McLean
1982, Geological Society, London, Special Publications (10) 201-211
Plate tectonic models of the Bering Sea suggest that the abyssal Bering Sea Basin is underlain by oceanic crust, a supposition supported by refraction and magnetic data. The oceanic crust is thought to be a remnant of the Kula(?) plate that was isolated within what is now the Bering...
Measurements of storm-generated bottom stresses on the continental shelf
D.A. Cacchione, D.E. Drake
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans (87) 1952-1960
Large values of bottom friction velocity, u*, and roughness length, z0, determined from burst-averaged speed data taken on the continental shelf in outer Norton Sound, Alaska, with the GEOPROBE tripod during a storm in September 1977 are correlated with extremely large values of near-bottom concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSM). Combined...
