Arsenic in streams, stream sediments, and ground water, Fairbanks area, Alaska
Frederic H. Wilson, D. B. Hawkins
1978, Environmental Geology (2) 195-202
Arsenic concentrations of less than 5 ppb to as large as 1,260 ppb in stream waters and from 5 ppm to 4,000 ppm in stream sediments were found in the Pedro Dome-Cleary Summit area, Alaska. Waters from three of 20 wells sampled had arsenic concentrations exceeding the U.S. Public Health...
New potassium-argon data on the age of mineralization and metamorphism in the Willow Creek mining district, southern Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska
Miles L. Silberman, Bela Csejtey Jr., James G. Smith, Marvin A. Lanphere, Frederic H. Wilson
1978, Circular 772-B
The now largely abandoned Willow Creek mining district, southern Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska, produced nearly $18,000,000 in gold and minor silver between 1909 and the early 1950's. Mineralized quartz veins, which contain gold and silver along with minor quantities of base metals (in pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, molybdenite, and arsenopyrite), cut...

Lisburne Group (Mississippian and Pennsylvanian), potential major hydrocarbon objective of Arctic Slope, Alaska
Kenneth J. Bird, Clifton F. Jordan
1977, AAPG Bulletin (61) 1493-1512
The Lisburne Group, a thick carbonate-rock unit of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian age, is one of the most widespread potential reservoir-rock units in northern Alaska. A comprehensive review of the Lisburne in the subsurface of the eastern Arctic Slope indicates attractive reservoir characteristics in a favorable source and migration setting where...
Submarine faults and slides on the continental shelf, northern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson, Bruce F. Molnia
1977, Marine Geotechnology (2) 275-290
Submarine faults and slides or slumps of Quaternary age are potential environmental hazards on the outer continental shelf (OCS) of the northern Gulf of Alaska. Most faults that approach or reach the seafloor cut strata that may be equivalent in age to the upper Yakataga Formation (Pliocene‐Pleistocene). Along several faults,...
Bird atlasing in the United States
C.S. Robbins
1977, Polish Ecological Studies (3) 325-328
Since the Breeding Bird Survey provides an annual quantitative sample of about 75% of the 1? blocks of latitude and longitude in every state except Alaska and Hawaii, and 47% of the 1/2? blocks (equivalent on the average to a 48 km square), no national Atlas based on merely presence...
Platinum, palladium, and rhodium in volcanic and plutonic rocks from the Gravina-Nutzotin belt, Alaska
Norman J. Page, Henry C. Berg, Joseph Haffty
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 629-636
The Gravina-Nutzotin belt of Middle (?) Jurassic to middle Cretaceous sedimentary and volcanic rocks in south and southeastern Alaska includes concentrically zoned ultramafic complexes known to contain platinum-group metals. Previous isotopic, petrologic, and geologic studies suggested a close relation in time and space between the volcanic rocks and the ultramafic...
Rare earths, thorium, and other minor elements in sphene from some plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska
Mortimer H. Staatz, Nancy M. Conklin, Isabelle K. Brownfield
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 623-628
Sphene is an abundant accessory mineral in some abnormally radioactive plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska. Seven samples of sphene from four different areas in west-central Alaska contained from 20350 to 39180 parts per million total rare earths and 390 to 2000 ppm thorium. The lanthanide content in six of the...
Radiocarbon dates and late-Quaternary stratigraphy from Mamontova Gora, unglaciated central Yakutia, Siberia, U.S.S.R.
T. L. Pewe, A. Journaux, R. Stuckenrath
1977, Quaternary Research (8) 51-63
A fine exposure of perennially frozen ice-rich silt and associated flora and vertebrate fauna of late-Quaternary age exists at Mamontova Gora along the Aldan River in central Yakutia, Siberia, U.S.S.R. The silt deposit caps a 50-m-high terrace and consists of three units. An upper layer 1–2 m thick overlies a...
Geology of the dry creek site; a stratified early man site in Interior Alaska
R.M. Thorson, T. D. Hamilton
1977, Quaternary Research (7) 149-176
The Dry Creek archeologic site contains a stratified record of late Pleistocene human occupation in central Alaska. Four archeologic components occur within a sequence of multiple loess and sand layers which together form a 2-m cap above weathered glacial outwash. The two oldest components appear to be of late Pleistocene...
Structure and sediment distribution in the western Bering Sea
P. D. Rabinowitz, A. Cooper
1977, Marine Geology (24) 309-320
Eleven seismic reflection profiles across Shirshov Ridge and the adjacent deep-water sedimentary basins (Komandorsky and Aleutian Basins) are presented to illustrate the sediment distribution in the western Bering Sea. A prominent seismic reflecting horizon, Reflector P (Middle—Late Miocene in age), is observed throughout both the Aleutian and Komandorsky Basins at...
Reconnaissance hydrology of Portage Glacier basin, Alaska
L.R. Mayo, Chester Zenone, Dennis Trabant
1977, Hydrologic Atlas 583
Early reports of conditions in Portage Pass, Alaska, provide evidence that Portage Glacier was formerly larger and thicker. Past conditions, recent history, current retreat, and possible future changes are summarized from an analysis of reports, photographs of the glacier (1939, 1950, and annually since about 1960), and data on snow...
