The effect of a fuel oil spill on benthic invertebrates and water quality on the Alaskan arctic slope, Happy Valley Creek near Sagwon, Alaska
Jon W. Nauman, Donald R. Kernodle
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 495-500
Samples of aquatic organisms and water were collected upstream and downstream from leaks and spills of arctic diesel fuel oil into Happy Valley Creek near Sagwon, Alaska. All groups of benthic invertebrates were reduced in abundance at the downstream boundary of the spill area, whereas invertebrates at an upstream site...
Geologic setting and chemical characteristics of hot springs in west-central Alaska
Thomas Miller, Ivan Barnes, William Wallace Patton Jr.
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 149-162
Numerous hot springs occur in a variety of geologic provinces in west-central Alaska. Granitic plutons are common to all the provinces, and the hot springs are spatially associated with the contacts of these plutons. Of 23 hot springs whose bedrock geology is known, all are within 4.8 km (3 mi)...
Channel erosion surveys along southern segment of the TAPS route, Alaska, 1972 and 1973
Joseph M. Childers
1975, Report
This report presents descriptions of preconstruction conditions at selected stream-channel sites along the southern segments of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System from Flood Creek to Valdez. The information presented can be used in studies of severe channel erosion streambed scour, bank erosion, or rechannelization. The report also presents a plan for...
Channel erosion surveys along TAPS route, Alaska, 1974
Joseph Childers, Stanley H. Jones
1975, Report
Repeated site surveys and aerial photographs at 26 stream crossings along the trans-Alaska pipeline system (TAPS) route during the period 1969-74 provide chronologie records of channel changes that predate pipeline-related construction at the sites. The 1974 surveys and photographs show some of the channel changes wrought by construction of the...
Water-quality changes during a salmon run in an interior Alaskan stream
Jon W. Nauman, Donald R. Kernodle
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 103-106
Increased activity at sunset of sockeye (red) salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in an Alaskan stream resulted in increases in carbon dioxide, turbidity, suspended chlorophyll a, and drift invertebrates, and a decrease in pH and dissolved oxygen....
Principal facts for gravity stations in the Rat Islands and Delarof Islands and Tanaga Island, Alaska
D.L. Healey
1975, Report
Gravity observations were made both east and west of the international dateline in the Aleutian Islands during 1970. A total of 280 gravity observations were made in the Rat Islands to the west and the Delarof Islands and Tanaga Island to the east. The principal facts and explanatory information for...

The least exacting demand that can be made of any model is that it serves as a device whereby we can predict actual physical happenings. Another demand which could be made is that the physical happenings predicted be in some way relevant to man, either by allowing him to anticipate...
Mercury distribution in ancient and modern sediment of northeastern Bering Sea
C.H. Nelson, D.E. Pierce, Kam Leong, F.F.H. Wang
1975, Marine Geology (18) 91-104
Reconnaissance sampling of surface and subsurface sediment to a maximum depth of 80 m below the sea floor shows that typical values of 0.03 p.p.m. and anomalies of 0.2-1.3 p.p.m. mercury have been present in northeastern Bering Sea since Early Pliocene time. Values are highest in modern beach (maximum 1.3...

A fence diagram of the Sadlerochit Formation, the major reservoir rock in the Prudhoe Bay oil field, is presented for about 20,000 square miles of northeastern Alaska. Thirty reference points were used in constructing the diagram, 27 are outcrop sections measured in detail between 1969 and 1972, and 4 are...
