Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks of Alaska and their role in its structural evolution
Michael Churkin Jr.
1970, Open-File Report 70-64
Acknowledging that there are large gaps in the knowledge of the geology of Alaska, the following threefold subdivision of Alaska into Paleozoic tectonic elements is proposed: Southern Alaska--the Alaska Range and farther south--is the northern end of the Paleozoic Cordilleran geosyncline that rims the eastern Pacific. Northern Alaska--the northeastern Brooks...

Petrology of the Plutonic Rocks of west-central Alaska
Thomas P. Miller
1970, Open-File Report 71-210
A series of plutons in west-central Alaska defines the Hogatza plutonic belt which extends for about 200 miles in an east-west direction from the northeastern Seward Peninsula to the Koyukuk River. The plutonic rocks have an aggregate area of about 1,200 square miles and their composition, distribution, and possible petrogenesis...
Analyses of stream-sediment samples from western St. Lawrence Island, Alaska
William Wallace Patton Jr., Bela Csejtey Jr.
1970, Open-File Report 70-258
Analytical data for 207 stream-sediment samples from western St. Lawrence Island are presented in this report, together with a statistical treatment of the data. The samples were collected in 1968 and 1969 as part of the Heavy Metals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey.This report is intended to supplement Geological...

Results of geochemical sampling in the western Clearwater Mountains, Alaska
Thomas E. Smith
1970, Open-File Report 70-310
Two centers of gold mineralization in the Clearwater Mountains have been identified during a recent geochemical sampling program in the Healy A-1, B-1 quadrangles, Alaska. Both the Timberline Creek center and the Black Creek center are located near the same E-W trending fault system.Sites of structural weakness along the zone...

Hydraulic tests in hole UA-1 and water inflow into an underground chamber, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1970, Open-File Report 70-16
Hole UA-1 was center punched (a small-diameter exploratory hole drilled ahead of the large-diameter emplacement hole) from 1,524.0 to 1,981.2 meters (5,000 to 6,500 feet) and hydraulically tested to determine an ideal location for mining a chamber. Fifteen zones were tested; minor amounts of water bypassed the packers during five...
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: Lessons and conclusions
Edwin B. Eckel
1970, Professional Paper 546
One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964. Strong motion lasted longer than for most recorded earthquakes, and more land surface was dislocated, vertically and horizontally, than by any known previous temblor. Never before were so many effects on earth processes and on...

David S. McCulloch, Manuel G. Bonilla
1970, Professional Paper 545-D
In the 1964 Alaska earthquake, the federally owned Alaska Railroad sustained damage of more than $35 million: 54 percent of the cost for port facilities; 25 percent, roadbed and track; 9 percent, buildings and utilities; 7 percent, bridges and culverts; and 5 percent, landslide removal. Principal causes of damage were:...

John R. Williams
1970, Circular 636
Surface-water supplies from the Colville River, small tributary creeks, and lakes are abundant in summer but limited in winter by low or zero flow in streams and thick ice cover on lakes. Fresh ground water occurs in unfrozen zones in alluvium and in the upper part of bedrock beneath the...
