A preliminary evaluation of selected earthquake-related geologic hazards in the Kenai Lowland, Alaska
Russell G. Tysdal
1976, Open-File Report 76-270
Several major faults exist beneath the Kenai Lowland, and others may be inferred. No surface evidence was found to indicate that any of the faults have been active in Holocene time. The sparse shallow seismicity thus far recorded does not correlate with known faults, nor does it define linear trends...

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...

1976, Open-File Report 76-830
Proposed OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sale i54comprising approximately 20,000 sq km in the Beaufort Sea of northern Alaska, has good potential for petroleum in each of the three geologic provinces it contains. However, only about half of the proposed area underlies waters shallower than 20 m, the apparent present...
Spectrographic and chemical analyses of geochemical samples from the McCarthy Quadrangle, Alaska
Richard M. O’Leary, Steven K. McDanal, Gordon W. Day, Christine McDougal, Keith Robinson
1976, Open-File Report 76-824
As an integral part of the Alaskan Mineral Resource Assessment Program, a geochemical reconnaissance survey was conducted in the McCarthy quadrangle during the summer of 1974. The investigation consisted of geochemical sampling, multielement chemical and spectrographic analyses, compilation of new and existing geochemical data, statistical evaluation of the total data...

Thomas P. Miller, Raymond L. Elliott, Warren I. Finch, Robert A. Brooks
1976, Open-File Report 76-710
Uranium-, thorium-, and rare-earth bearing rocks were found by a U.S. Geological Survey field party 15 miles northeast of Golovin, Alaska, in the southeastern Seward Peninsula (fig. 1) in June 1976. The mineralized areas occur in syenite and appear to be concentrated along the margins of alkaline dikes, with allanite...

G. O. Balding
1976, Open-File Report 76-513
The Alaska Water Assessment, sponsored by the Water Resources Council, is a specific problem analysis for Alaska of the National Assessment of Water and Related Land Resources. The assessment addresses water and water-related land problems, present and future. It was felt that a supplementary report, as a part of the...
Interpretation of Landsat imagery of the Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska
Nairn R. Albert, William Clinton Steele
1976, Open-File Report 76-850
In this study of Landsat imagery for the Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska, two fundamentally different types of images were used: (1) a black and white, single band, Landsat mosaic of Alaska, constructed with images that are not computer-enhanced; and (2) various types of computer-enhanced Landsat images....

Computer-enhanced LANDSAT imagery as a tool for mineral exploration in Alaska
Nairn Albert, Pat S. Chavez
1976, Open-File Report 76-65
Recent work in the Nabesna and McCarthy quadrangles, Alaska, indicates that computer-enhanced LANDSAT imagery shows many of the known mineral deposits and can help in the prediction of potential mineral occurrences. False color, "simulated natural color" and color ratio techniques, were used successfully in conjunction with a black and white,...
