Reconnaissance engineering geology of Sitka and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1974, Open-File Report 74-53
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started following the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report about Sitka and vicinity is a product of that program. Field-study methods were of a reconnaissance nature,...
A tabulation of K-Ar, Rb-Sr and Pb-alpha ages obtained for materials within the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) during the years 1956 through 1964
Richard F. Marvin
1974, Open-File Report 74-1068
This tabulation of ages has been made as a convenience to anyone desiring a quick reference to ages published in the United States from 1956 through 1964. This tabulation does not include all published K-Ar, Rb-Sr, or Pb-a ages, but is probably 98 percent complete. Many of the radiometric ages...
Development and evaluation of a prototype global volcanic surveillance system utilizing the ERTS-1 satellite data collection system
Peter L. Ward, Elliot T. Endo, David H. Harlow, Rex Allen, Dan Marquez, Jerry P. Eaton
1974, Open-File Report 74-124
The ERTS Data Collection System makes it feasible for the first time to monitor the level of activity at widely separated volcanoes and to relay these data rapidly to one central office for analysis. This capability opens a new era in volcanology where the hundreds of normally quiescent but potentially...

This tabulation of ages has been made as a convenience to anyone desiring a quick reference to ages published in the United States from 1969 through 1971. This tabulation does not include all published K-Ar, Rb-Sr, or Pb-α ages but is probably 98% complete. Many of the radiometric ages published...
Some aspects of remote sensing for consideration in planning for environmental monitoring of the Alyeska Pipeline, Alaska
Herbert E. Skibitzke
1974, Open-File Report 77-643
Remote sensing data were taken along a line surveyed for the building of the Alyeska Pipeline, Alaska, in the winter of 1973-74. The portion considered in this report is the area from the Yukon River south to Isabel Pass in the Alaska Range. The occurrences of aufeis gave the appearance...
Geological Survey published maps (other than topographic maps) of Alaska indexed by quadrangle
Edward H. Cobb
1974, Open-File Report 74-84
Geological Survey maps (other than topographic maps) the publication of which was announced before February, 1974, are listed by the quadrangles (scale 1:250,000) into which Alaska has been divided for topographic mapping (p. 2). This index does not include maps that were placed in open files but not formally published,...

Geological Survey published reports on Alaska, 1915-1939, indexed by quadrangle
Edward Huntington Cobb
1974, Open-File Report 74-335
Geological Survey reports published as Professional Papers, Bulletins, Water Supply Papers, and Circulars are listed by the quadrangles (scale 1:250,000) into which Alaska has been divided for topographic mapping (p. 3). This index does not include reports that deal only with administrative matters or that were placed in open files...

Geological Survey open-file reports of Alaska indexed by quadrangle
Edward Huntington Cobb
1974, Open-File Report 74-7
The Geological Survey places in open files reports and maps that are preliminary or ephemeral in nature, are of interest to a small audience only, or consist of masses of essentially raw data. These reports and maps are available to the public and may be consulted at various Geological Survey...
Water-quality and geohydrologic data at two sanitary landfill sites near Anchorage, Alaska
Chester Zenone, D.E. Donaldson
1974, Open-File Report 74-1131
Water-quality and geohydrologic data were collected at two sanitary landfill (solid-waste disposal) sites near Anchorage, Alaska. The study was undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Greater Anchorage Area Borough and the U.S. Air Force. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the environmental effects of...
