Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Petersburg area, southeastern Alaska, with emphasis on geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1978, Open-File Report 78-675
A program to study the engineering geology of most larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started following the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report about the Petersburg area is a product of that program. Field-study methods were of a reconnaissance nature, and thus,...

Effects of permafrost on stream channel behavior in Arctic Alaska
Kevin M. Scott
1978, Professional Paper 1068
Sites with drainage areas ranging from 88 to 12,200 sq km were monitored on five streams in northern Alaska during the breakup in 1976 to determine (1) the effects of frozen bed and bank material on channel behavior, and (2) the importance of the annual breakup flood in forming the...

Impact of coastal processes on resource development with an example from Icy Bay, Alaska
Bruce F. Molnia
1978, Open-File Report 79-1693
The coastline of Alaska is dynamic and continually readjusting to changes in the many processes that operate in the coastal zone. Because of this dynamic nature, special consideration must be made in planning for development, and. caution must be exercised in site selection for facilities to be emplaced in the...

1978, Open-File Report 78-70-C
Significant concentrations of galena, sphalerite, and minor barite are present in the Drenchwater Creek area, Howard Pass quadrangle, western Brooks Range, Alaska. Detailed geologic mapping indicates that galena, sphalerite and pyrite occur sporadically in a zone at least 1,830 m. long and 6-30 m. wide. The sulfides occur in tuff,...
