Unusual foraging by a fork-tailed storm-petrel
Robert E. Gill Jr.
1977, The Auk (94) 385-386
While conducting an offshore bird census from the sea beach at Nelson Lagoon, Alaska Peninsula (56°00'N, 161°10'W) at 1700 on 17 September 1976 1 saw a Fork-tailed Storm Petrel (Oceanodroma f. furcata) feeding on the beached remains of an adult gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) that had been trapped by ice...
Demographic features of a lapland longspur population near Barrow, Alaska
Thomas W. Custer, Frank A. Pitelka
1977, The Auk (94) 505-525
Breeding density, clutch size, hatching and fledging success, and survival of adult Lapland Longspurs (Calcarius lapponicus) were monitored over a 7-year period near the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory, Barrow, Alaska. Nesting begins as soon as the tundra starts to clear of snow and appears to be timed so that the...
Gravity measurements on summer sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, 1976
Gary Boucher
1977, Open-File Report 77-705
During September, 1976, a series of gravity measurements was made in the western Beaufort Sea and the northern Chukchi Sea on ice floes and on a grounded ice island. The data were taken to evaluate the technique of measuring gravity on small ice floes in summer and to supplement and...

Tectonic framework of petroliferous rocks in Alaska: hydrocarbons
Arthur Grantz, C.E. Kirschner
1976, Book chapter, Circum-Pacific energy and mineral resources (AAPG Memoir 25)
Alaska, which contains about 28% of the land and continental shelf of the United States, is estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey to contain about one third of the nation's undiscovered oil and about one sixth of its undiscovered natural gas. The Survey estimates that fields discovered in Alaska through...
Glaciomarine deposits of Miocene through Holocene age in the Yakataga Formation along the Gulf of Alaska margin, Alaska

Thomas P. Miller, editor(s)
1976, Conference Paper, Recent and ancient sedimentary environments in Alaska: Proceedings of the Alaska Geological Society Symposium held April 2-4, 1975, at Anchorage, Alaska
Perhaps the world's longest and most complete onshore sedimentary record of late Cenozoic glaciation is preserved in the Gulf of Alaska Tertiary province that extends 800 km along the coast of southern Alaska. The Yakataga Formation, with an aggregate outcrop thickness of about 5,000 m, is characterized by variable amounts...
Age and tectonic significance of volcanic rocks on St. Matthew Island, Bering Sea, Alaska
William W. Patton Jr., Marvin A. Lanphere, Thomas P. Miller, Richard A. Scott
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 67-73
Reconnaissance investigations of the heretofore little known volcanic assemblage on St Matthew Island provide significant information on the tectonic history of the Bering Sea shelf. St. Matthew Island is made up of approximately 500 m of subaerial calc-alkaline volcanic rocks ranging in composition from high-alumina basalt to rhyolite. Four K-Ar...
