Distribution and character of naleds in northeastern Alaska
Deborah Harden, Peter W. Barnes, Erk Reimnitz
1977, Open-File Report 77-91
An examination of the distribution of river naleds seen in Landsat satellite imagery and high- and low-altitude aerial photography of Alaska's North Slope indicates that these features are widespread east of the Colville River and less abundant to the west. Where naleds occur, stream channels are wide and often form...

Channel erosion surveys along the TAPS route, Alaska, 1977
Robert M. Loeffler, Joseph M. Childers
1977, Open-File Report 78-611
Channel surveys were made along the trans-Alaska pipeline system (TAPS) route during 1977 at the same 28 sites that were studied in 1976. In addition, a new site at pipeline mile 22 near Deadhorse (alignment No 134) along the Sagavanirktok River was put under surveillance. Except for changes wrought by...

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...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the eastern North Slope, Alaska, 1975
Joseph M. Childers, C. E. Sloan, J.P. Meckel, J. W. Nauman
1977, Open-File Report 77-492
The part of the Arctic coast of Alaska between the Colville River and the Canadian boundary was visited in April, August, and November 1975. The study area is characterized by its cold climate and is largely uninhabited, but oil and gas discoveries have spurred development of parts of the area....

Bathymetric and shoreline changes, northwestern Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Peter W. Barnes, Erk Reimnitz, Greg Smith, John Melchior
1977, Open-File Report 77-161
The coastal environment in the vicinity of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (Fig. 1) is presently being vigorously utilized by petroleum activities. In particular, barges moving freight onshore over the past 8 years, have used the Prudhoe Bay entrance channel almost exclusively. To further facilitate the offloading of supply barges, Atlantic Richfield...

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...

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...
