Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian biostratigraphy of east-central Alaska
Michael Churkin Jr., Earl E. Brabb
1965, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (49) 172-185
A predominantly shale and chert sequence has been mapped from the Canadian border at Latitude 65°00′ N. to the Nation River about 25 miles northwest. It has Ordovician and Silurian graptolites in the lower half, and Middle Devonian corals and Upper Devonian spores in the upper half.The lower half of...
Biota of a late glacial rocky mountain pond
E.G. Kauffman, David S. McCulloch
1965, GSA Bulletin (76) 1203-1232
The sediments of a late glacial sag pond in Huerfano Park, south-central Colorado, have yielded a varied biota consisting of vertebrates, terrestrial and fresh-water mollusks, sponges, and pollen. Wood from the sediments has a radiocarbon age of 9600 ± 200 years. The vertebrate fauna contains the tooth of a prairie...
Tectonic deformation associated with the 1964 Alaska earthquake
George Plafker
1965, Science (148) 1675-1687
Alaska's Good Friday earthquake of 27 March 1964 was accompanied by vertical tectonic deformation over an area of 170,000 to 200,000 square kilometers in south-central Alaska. The deformation included two major northeast-trending zones of uplift and subsidence situated between the Aleutian Trench and the Aleutian Volcanic Arc; together they are...
Alaskan glaciers: Recent observations in respect to the earthquake-advance theory
A.S. Post
1965, Science (148) 366-368
Preliminary aerial photographic studies indicate that the Alaskan earthquake produced some rockfalls but no significant snow and ice avalanches on glaciers. No rapid, short-lived glacier advances (surges) are conclusively associated with this earthquake. Recent evidence fails to support the earthquake-advance theory of Tarr and Martin....

Geology and ground-water resources of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Dagfin John Cederstrom, Frank W. Trainer, Roger Milton Waller
1964, Water Supply Paper 1773
The Anchorage area, at the head of Cook Inlet in south-central Alaska, occupies 150 square miles of a glaciated lowland and lies between two estuaries and the Chugach Mountains. Two military bases are in the area; Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and the chief transportation center for this...
Quaternary geology of the Kenai Lowland and glacial history of the Cook Inlet region, Alaska
Thor N. V. Karlstrom
1964, Professional Paper 443
The Kenai Lowland is part of the Cook Inlet Lowland physiographic subprovince that borders Cook Inlet, a major marine reentrant along the Pacific Ocean coastline of south-central Alaska. The Cook Inlet Lowland occupies a structural trough underlain by rocks of Tertiary age and mantled by Quaternary deposits of varying thicknesses....
Inventory of published and unpublished chemical analyses of surface waters in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, 1961
Thomas H. Woodard, Sumner Griggs Heidel
1964, Water Supply Paper 1786
This inventory contains a list of published and unpublished chemical analyses obtained through September 30, 1961, by agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Hydrology. Bulletin 6 of Subcommittee on Hydrology includes references to all surface-water analyses for states east of the Mississippi River known to exist in the files of...

Preliminary report on tests of the application of geophysical methods to Arctic ground water problems
David F. Barnes, Gerald R. MacCarthy
1964, Open-File Report 64-9
Seismic refraction and electrical resistivity surveys were made during the summer and fall of 1952 in the Tanana Valley near Fairbanks, Alaska, as part of the studies of the application of geophysical techniques to ground-water problems in Alaska instigated in 1951 by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratories....

Reconnaissance geochemistry of stream sediments from three areas near Juneau, Alaska
Henry C. Berg
1964, Open-File Report 64-13
Results of a preliminary inquiry into background metal content of stream sediments near Juneau, Alaska, and whether this background is related to geologic terrane indicate that stream sediments derived chiefly from metamorphic rocks show significantly higher modal nickel, zinc, and arsenic than do sediments derived mainly from sedimentary or igneous...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in Alaska south of the Yukon River
Vernon Kenneth Berwick, Joseph M. Childers, M.A. Kuentzel
1964, Circular 493
This report presents a method for evaluating the magnitude and frequency of floods on the basis of the analysis of flood records. One composite frequency curve is applied to the entire study region. This curve relates floods of various magnitudes at any site within the region to probable recurrence intervals...

The concept and the derivation of a distribution coefficient are developed. Ion exchange and the nature of competition among cations are given. Distribution coefficients for carrier-free cesium, strontium, and iodine were determined on 17 samples collected during July, 1961, in the vicinity of Cape Thompson, northwestern Alaska. High percentage uptake...
