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...

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....
Artificial recharge experiments on the Ship Creek alluvial fan, Anchorage, Alaska
Gary S. Anderson
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-38
During the summers of 1973 and 1974, water from Ship Creek was diverted at an average rate of approximately 6 cubic feet per second to an 11-acre recharge basin. Maximum sustained unit recharge for the basin was approximately 1.4 feet per day. Dur-ing 1975 a second basin of 8 acres...
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....
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...

Genesis of a zoned granite stock, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Travis Hudson
1977, Open-File Report 77-35
A composite epizonal stock of biotite granite has intruded a diverse assemblage of metamorphic rocks in the Serpentine Hot Springs area of north-central Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The metamorphic rocks include amphibolite-facies orthogneiss and paragneiss, greenschist-facies fine-grained siliceous and graphitic metasediments, and a variety of carbonate rocks. Lithologic units within the...

Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Metlakatla area, Annette Island, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquakes and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1977, Open-File Report 77-272
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 Metlakatla area, Annette Island, is a product of that program. Field-study methods were of a reconnaissance nature,...
