An oilspill risk analysis for the western Gulf of Alaska (Kodiak Island) Outer Continental Shelf lease area
James Richard Slack, Richard Allmon Smith, Timothy Wyant
1977, Open-File Report 77-212
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted to determine relative environmental hazards of developing oil in different regions of the Western Gulf of Alaska Outer Continental Shelf lease area. The study analyzed probability of spill occurrence, likely path of pollutants from spills, and locations in space and time of recreational and...

Combined Ice and Water Balances of Maclure Glacier, California, South Cascade Glacier, Washington, and Wolverine and Gulkana Glaciers, Alaska, 1967 Hydrologic Year
Wendell V. Tangborn, Lawrence R. Mayo, David R. Scully, Robert M. Krimmel
1977, Professional Paper 715-B
Combined ice and water balances were measured in the 1967 hydrologic year (October 1-September 30) on four glaciers in western North America ranging in latitude from 37 deg to 63 deg N. This hydrologic year was characterized by heavier than normal winter precipitation in California and Washington and abnormally dry...

Edward Huntington Cobb
1977, Open-File Report 77-177
This open-file report lists all Geological Survey, U.S. Bureau of Mines, and State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys reports and maps on the geology, geophysics, and mineral and water resources of Alaska published or released to open files in 1976. They are listed by the quadrangles (scale...
Radioelement concentrations and preliminary radiometric ages of rocks of the Kigluaik Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Carl Maurice Bunker, Carl E. Hedge, C.L. Sainsbury
1977, Open-File Report 77-735
A sequence of old metamorphic rocks including the Kigluaik and Nome Groups is exposed in the Kigluaik Mountains of the Seward Peninsula. The high-grade metasedimentary rocks give a whole-rock Rb-Sr age of 735 m.y. This late Precambrian age is believed to be the time of metamorphism. Orthogneisses, intrusive into the...

Organic geochemistry, lithology, and paleontology of Tertiary and Mesozoic rocks from wells on the Alaska Peninsula
Hugh James McLean
1977, Open-File Report 77-813
Core chips and drill cuttings from eight of the nine wells drilled along the Bering Sea lowlands of the Alaska Peninsula were subjected to lithologic and paleontologic analyses. Results suggest that at least locally, sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age contain oil and gas source and reservoir rocks capable of generating...

1977, Circular 739
The McCarthy 1? by 3? quadrangle, in eastern south-central Alaska, contains potentially significant resources of copper and possibly of a few other commodities. This circular and a companion folio of maps represent results of integrated field and laboratory studies in the disciplines of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and satellite imagery that...
Sub-sea temperatures and a simple tentative model for offshore permafrost at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Arthur H. Lachenbruch, B. Vaughn Marshall
1977, Open-File Report 77-395
In this report, we present temperatures measured in three holes drilled into the sea bed in the Prudhoe Bay region and a tentative interpretation of them in terms of the gross thermal regime and shoreline history of the area. The new holes (PB-1, PB-2, and PB-3, Figure 1) were drilled...
Chemical composition of Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks from east-central Alaska
Earl E. Brabb, Bette R. Hamachi
1977, Open-File Report 77-631
The purpose of this report is to make available 108 analyses of a variety of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks from east-central Alaska. The rocks were collected by the senior author, Michael Churkin, Jr., G. Donald Eberlein, Reuben J. Ross, Jr., and James Melik from 1960 to 1963....
Carborne radiometric survey of the Nome area, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Robert A. Brooks, Warren Irvin Finch
1977, Open-File Report 77-472
A carborne radiometric survey was made along the accessible roads in the Nome, Alaska, area. The background radiation was generally found to be low, about 40 cps, but higher radioactivity near granite was noted. No radioactive anomalies of a magnitude greater than three times the average background were encountered....
