A “natural and legitimate ambition . . . .”
S. J. Pyne
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 53-57
Grove Karl Gilbert (1843-1918) was Chief Geologist for the U.S Geological Survey from 1889 to 1892. Still working for the Survey, he was in Berkeley when the 1906 earthquake struck San Francisco. Immediately on waking, he began to study the motion of the light fixture hanging from the ceiling, trying...
New ages on intrusive rocks and altered zones in the Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1977
Frederic H. Wilson, Robert L. Detterman, Miles L. Silberman
1978, Circular 772-B
Preliminary potassium-argon dating of intrusive rocks and altered zones in the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles of the Alaska Peninsula seems to indicate at least three and possibly four Tertiary ages of alteration and mineralization....
Geologic framework of lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Michael A. Fisher, Leslie B. Magoon
1978, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (62) 373-402
Three seismic reflectors are present throughout the lower Cook Inlet basin and can be correlated with onshore geologic features. The reflections come from unconformities at the base of the Tertiary sequence, at the base of Upper Cretaceous rocks, and near the base of Upper Jurassic strata.A contour map of the...
United States Geological Survey Yearbook, fiscal year 1977
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1978, Report
Fiscal 1977 marked the 98th year the U.S. Geological Survey has endeavored in the unceasing task of providing information about the Earth and its physical resources, and regulating the activities of lessees engaged in extracting petroleum and other minerals from the public domain. The past year also marked the beginning...
Upper Devonian radiolarians separated from chert of the Ford Lake Shale, Alaska
Brian K. Holdsworth, D. L. Jones, C. Allison
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 775-788
Leaching of black bedded chert from the Ford Lake Shale, Kandik Basin, Alaska, with dilute hydrofluoric acid resulted in the complete separation of moderately well preserved radiolarians. Preliminary study of an assemblage obtained from the lower half of the formation revealed six to eight forms apparently identical to specimens previously...
Distribution and character of upper Mesozoic subduction complexes along the west coast of North America
D. L. Jones, M.C. Blake Jr., E. H. Bailey, R. J. McLaughlin
1978, Tectonophysics (47) 207-222
Structurally complex sequences of sedimentary, volcanic, and intrusive igneous rocks characterize a nearly continuous narrow band along the Pacific coast of North America from Baja California, Mexico to southern Alaska. They occur in two modes: (1) as complexly folded but coherent sequences of graywacke and argillite that locally exhibit blueschist-grade...
Arctic continental shelf morphology related to sea-ice zonation, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
E. Reimnitz, L. Toimil, P. Barnes
1978, Marine Geology (28) 179-210
Landsat-1 and NOAA satellite imagery for the winter 1972–1973, and a variety of ice and sea-floor data were used to study sea-ice zonation and dynamics and their relation to bottom morphology and geology on the Beaufort Sea continental shelf of arctic Alaska.In early winter the location of the boundary between...
