Channel erosion surveys along TAPS route, Alaska, 1976
Paul F. Doyle, Joseph M. Childers
1976, Open-File Report 77-170
Channel surveys were made along the TAPS route during 1976 at the same 27 sites that were surveyed in 1975. One additional site was put under surveillance in 1976. Except for construction changes wrought by installation of the pipeline, most of the sites surveyed showed very little change since the...
Submarine faults and slides that disrupt surficial sedimentary units, northern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson
1976, Open-File Report 76-294
Faults and submarine slides or slumps of Quaternary age are potential environmental hazards on the outer continental shelf (OCS) of the northern Gulf of Alaska. Most of the faults that approach or reach the seafloor cut strata that may be equivalent to the upper Yakataga Formation (Pliocene-Pleistocene). Along several faults...
Preliminary space image lineament maps of Alaska
Ernest Hartwell Lathram, Robert G.H. Raynolds
1976, Open-File Report 76-341
Examination of images from Nimbus, NOAA and Landsat satellites has revealed a series of lineaments in the earth's surface in Alaska 1000 km or more in length (fig. 1). These lineaments occur as alinements of surface geologic structures, linear valleys or ridges, and linear changes in tonal contrast marking differences...
Limnological investigation of six lakes in southeast Alaska
George A. McCoy, William W. Wiggins, Artwin E. Schmidt
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-122
Limnological data were collected from six lakes in southeast Alaska in 1974. The data include concentrations of major inorganic constituents, nutrients, selected trace metals, total organic carbon, and chlorophyll. Vertical profiles of specific conductance, temperature, dissolved-oxygen saturation, and pH were drawn. With the exception of Redoubt Lake, all of the...

Preliminary survey of modern glaciolacustrine sediments for earthquake-induced deformational structures, south-central Alaska
Michael J. Rymer, John D. Sims
1976, Open-File Report 76-373
Bottom sediments of four lakes in South-Central Alaska were studied in the summer of 1975 for evidence of earthquake-induced deformation. The lakes are: Summit, Upper Trail, and Skilak, all on the Kenai Peninsula, and Eklutna, northeast of Anchorage (fig. 1). Interest in these lakes was stimulated by hypotheses developed from...
