Channel erosion surveys along the TAPS route, Alaska, 1977
Robert M. Loeffler, Joseph M. Childers
1977, Open-File Report 78-611
Channel surveys were made along the trans-Alaska pipeline system (TAPS) route during 1977 at the same 28 sites that were studied in 1976. In addition, a new site at pipeline mile 22 near Deadhorse (alignment No 134) along the Sagavanirktok River was put under surveillance. Except for changes wrought by...
Bathymetric and shoreline changes, northwestern Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Peter W. Barnes, Erk Reimnitz, Greg Smith, John Melchior
1977, Open-File Report 77-161
The coastal environment in the vicinity of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (Fig. 1) is presently being vigorously utilized by petroleum activities. In particular, barges moving freight onshore over the past 8 years, have used the Prudhoe Bay entrance channel almost exclusively. To further facilitate the offloading of supply barges, Atlantic Richfield...

Sub-sea temperatures and a simple tentative model for offshore permafrost at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Arthur H. Lachenbruch, B. Vaughn Marshall
1977, Open-File Report 77-395
In this report, we present temperatures measured in three holes drilled into the sea bed in the Prudhoe Bay region and a tentative interpretation of them in terms of the gross thermal regime and shoreline history of the area. The new holes (PB-1, PB-2, and PB-3, Figure 1) were drilled...

Radioelement concentrations and preliminary radiometric ages of rocks of the Kigluaik Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Carl Maurice Bunker, Carl E. Hedge, C.L. Sainsbury
1977, Open-File Report 77-735
A sequence of old metamorphic rocks including the Kigluaik and Nome Groups is exposed in the Kigluaik Mountains of the Seward Peninsula. The high-grade metasedimentary rocks give a whole-rock Rb-Sr age of 735 m.y. This late Precambrian age is believed to be the time of metamorphism. Orthogneisses, intrusive into the...
Ground-water investigation at the alluvial fan of the South Fork River, Anchorage, Alaska: results of test drilling, 1976
Larry L. Dearborn
1977, Open-File Report 77-493
In late 1976, at Anchorage, Alaska, a ground-water exploration well was drilled to a depth of 487 feet on the South Fork Eagle River fan near the confluence with the mainstream. The well penetrated four sand and gravel strata of low water-yielding capacity and extended 37 ft into metamorphic bedrock....
