Water resources of the Truk Islands
Otto Van der Brug
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4082
The Truk Islands, part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific, consist of 19 volcanic islands and about 65 coral islets. The volcanic islands and some of the coral islets are scattered in an 820-square-mile lagoon enclosed by a 125-mile long barrier reef. Moen, although not the largest, is...
Geochronology, geochemistry, and tectonic environment of porphyry mineralization in the central Alaska Peninsula
Frederic H. Wilson, Dennis P. Cox
1983, Open-File Report 83-783
Porphyry type sulfide systems on the central Alaska Peninsula occupy a transition zone between the Aleutian island magmatic arc and the continental magmatic arc of southern Alaska. Mineralization occurs associated with early and late Tertiary magmatic centers emplaced through a thick section of Mesozoic continental margin clastic sedimentary rocks. The...
