Summary of hydrologic and physical properties of rock and soil materials, as analyzed by the hydrologic laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1948-60
D. A. Morris, A.I. Johnson
1966, Report
The Hydrologic Laboratory was established in 1948 to serve as the central laboratory for the Ground Water Branch, Water Resources Division, of the U.S. Geological Survey. During the period it has been in existence, numerous samples of rock and soil materials have been analyzed. Analysis data on samples from 42...
Geohydrologic use of lithofacies maps in glaciated areas
Wayne A. Pettyjohn, P.G. Randich
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 679-689
Subsurface conditions may differ considerably from conditions indicated by surficial geologic maps, particularly in glaciated areas. Therefore, it is advantageous to use a series of lithofacies maps as a sequence of overlays plotted on transparent paper. Such maps permit direct visual determination of the lithology and areal extent of aquifers...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, in the Homer area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller, Kirk W. Stanley
1966, Professional Paper 542-D
The March 27, 1964, earthquake shook the Homer area for about 3 minutes. Land effects consisted of a 2- to 6-foot subsidence of the mainland and Homer Spit, one earthflow at the mouth of a canyon, several landslides on the Homer escarpment and along the sea bluffs, and minor fissuring...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of south-central Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-A
The earthquake of March 27, 1964, greatly affected the hydrology of Alaska and many other parts of the world. Its far-reaching effects were recorded as water-level fluctuations in gages operated on water wells and streams. The close-in effects were even more striking, however; sediment-laden ground water erupted at the surface,...
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-B
The Anchorage hydrologic system was greatly affected by the seismic shock. Immediate but temporary effects included increased stream discharge, seiche action on lakes, and fluctuations in ground-water levels. Generally, ground-water levels were residually lowered after the initial period of fluctuation. This lowering is attributed either to changes in the discharge...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, in the Copper River Basin area, Alaska
Oscar J. Ferrians Jr.
1966, Professional Paper 543-E
The Copper River Basin area is in south-central Alaska and covers 17,800 square miles. It includes most of the Copper River Basin and parts of the surrounding Alaska Range and the Talkeetna, Chugach, and Wrangell Mountains. On March 27, 1964, shortly after 5:36 p.m. Alaska standard time, a great earthquake having...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Valdez, Alaska
Henry Welty Coulter, Ralph R. Migliaccio
1966, Professional Paper 542-C
Valdez is situated on the seaward edge of a large outwash delta composed of a thick section of saturated silty sand and gravel. The earthquake of March 27, 1964, triggered a massive submarine slide, involving approximately 98 million cubic yards of material that destroyed the harbor facilities and nearshore installations....
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: Field investigations and reconstruction effort
Wallace R. Hansen, Edwin B. Eckel, William E. Schaem, Robert E. Lyle, Warren George, Genie Chance
1966, Professional Paper 541
One of the greatest geotectonic events of our time occurred in southern Alaska late in the afternoon of March 27, 1964. Beneath a leaden sky, the chill of evening was just settling over the Alaskan countryside. Light snow was falling on some communities. It was Good Friday, schools were closed,...
