Geophysical data from the 1975 cruise of the NOAA ship Surveyor in northern Gulf of Alaska
Bruce Molnia, Paul R. Carlson, Lisa H. Wright
1978, Open-File Report 78-209
In April and Flay 1975, a U.S. Geological Survey marine geology field party under the leadership of Bruce F. Molnia and Paul R. Carlson collected geophysical data from the N.O.A.A. ship Surveyor. The cruise, which consisted of 3 legs, studied the area between Cross Sound and Seward (Figure 1). Maps...
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...
Report on the beach dynamics, geology, and oil spill susceptibility of the Gulf of Alaska coastline in Glacier Bay National Monument -- Sea Otter Creek to Icy Point
Bruce Molnia, Mark C. Wheeler
1978, Open-File Report 78-284
Observations of the Gulf of Alaska coastline in Glacier Bay National Monument were conducted between June 1975 and July 1977 to: (1) characterize the beach environment, and (2) assess the effects of an oil spill (fig. 1). These included overflights in June 1975, June 1976, July 1976, January 1977, May...
K-Ar geochronology of the Survey Pass, Ambler River and Eastern Baird Mountains quadrangles, southwestern Brooks Range, Alaska
Donald L. Turner, R. B. Forbes, C.F. Mayfield
1978, Open-File Report 78-254
We report 76 previously unpublished K-Ar mineral ages from 47 metamorphic and igneous rocks in the southwestern Brooks Range. The pattern of radiometric ages is complex, reflecting the complex geologic history of this area. Local and regional radiometric evidence suggests that the southern Brooks Range schist belt has, at least...

Geologic setting of the lead and zinc deposits, Drenchwater Creek area, Howard Pass Quadrangle, Western Brooks Range, Alaska
Warren J. Nokleberg, Gary R. Winkler
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,...

Geotechnical properties of sediments from the Continental Shelf south of Icy Bay, northeastern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson, William P. Levy, Bruce F. Molnia, John C. Hampson Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-1071
Studies of geotechnical properties of marine sediments have recently intensified as the search for natural resources has expanded on the continental shelf. The U. S. Geological Survey has begun a detailed evaluation of geologic environmental conditions in continental shelf regions in order to facilitate safe development of continental shelf resources....
Late Miocene mollusks from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Canada
Warren O. Addicott
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 677-689
A fauna of bivalve mollusks, scattered gastropods, and an echinoid from exposures of the Skonun Formation in the northeastern part of Graham Island is indicative of an early late Miocene age and correlation with the provincial Wishkahan Stage. The molluscan assemblages are from the upper 600 of the 1800-m-thick marine...
