Experimental results of atomic absorption analyses for indium and thallium in 803 nonmagnetic concentrates from Alaska
William C. Overstreet, George L. Crenshaw, Arthur E. Hubert, Sam Rosenblum, Ricke J. Smith
1975, Open-File Report 75-253
The development in the U.S. Geological Survey of rapid methods for the determination by atomic absorption spectrophotometry of indium and thallium at limits of detection as low as 0.2 ppm each in geologic materials affords great advantages over spectrographic methods in studies concerned with values at or near the crustal...

A reconnaissance study of the U and Th contents of plutonic rocks of the southeastern Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Carl M. Bunker
1975, Open-File Report 75-217
Large granitic Cretaceous plutons are exposed along and adjacent to an arcuate belt of igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks in the southeastern Seward Peninsula of Alaska. Reconnaissance studies of these plutons have shown that the Darby pluton has well above average amounts of U and Th (11.2 ppm and 58.7...
U, Th, and K analyses of selected plutonic rocks from west-central Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Carl M. Bunker
1975, Open-File Report 75-216
Numerous samples of plutonic rocks collected during reconnaissance mapping in western Alaska have been analyzed for K, U, and Th. The U and Th content of the plutonic rocks from the southeastern Seward Peninsula have been discussed in a separate report (Miller and Bunker, 1975); because of the current interest...
Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Ketchikan area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Richard W. Lemke
1975, Open-File Report 75-250
The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, dramatically emphasized the need for engineering geologic studies of urban areas in seismically active regions. A reconnaissance study of the Ketchikan area in southeastern Alaska is part of a program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards in most of the larger Alaska...
Age and tectonic significance of volcanic rocks on St. Matthew Island, Bering Sea, Alaska
William Wallace Patton Jr., Marvin A. Lanphere, Thomas P. Miller, Richard A. Scott
1975, Open-File Report 75-150
Reconnaissance investigations of the heretofore little known volcanic assemblage on St. Matthew Island provide significant information on the tectonic history of the Bering Sea shelf. St. Matthew Island is made up of approximately 500 m of subaerial calc-alkaline volcanic rocks ranging in composition from high-alumina basalt to rhyolite. Four K-Ar...

A preliminary summary of petroleum potential, environmental geology, and the technology, time frame and infrastructure for exploration and development of the western Gulf of Alaska
Roland E. von Huene, Rodney Smith, Monty Hampton, George Moore, Gordon Dolton
1975, Open-File Report 75-536
This preliminary geology summary of the western Gulf of Alaska has been made to aid the Bureau of Land Management in defining an area for which nominations for oil and gas leasing will be solicited. The suggested area is centered about the Kodiak group of islands and is thought to...
Hydrology for land-use planning: The Hillside area, Anchorage, Alaska
Larry L. Dearborn, William W. Barnwell
1975, Open-File Report 75-105
Rapid residential growth of the Hillside area, Anchorage, Alaska, may cause depletion of aquifers and a change in quality of water resources as a result of extensive development of small-lot tracts. Ground-water yields are low and may be locally inadequate for single family requirements where wells produce from bedrock in...
Heavy-mineral trends in the Beaufort Sea
Gretchen Luepke
1975, Open-File Report 75-667
Sediments of the Beaufort Sea, off the North Slope of Alaska contain a great variety of heavy minerals. These include garnet, chrome spinel, augite, pigeonite, diopside, hornblende, enstatite, hypersthene, epidote, clinozoisite, zoisite, apatite, tourmaline, chloritoid, sphene, zircon, and opaque minerals. Much rarer constituents are glaucophane, lamprobolite, rutile, kyanite, staurolite, and...
Preliminary report on the reconnaissance engineering geology of the Yakutat area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1975, Open-File Report 75-529
Yakutat, situated about 225 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska, near the shores of the Gulf of Alaska, has a setting that calls for superlatives. Within the Yakutat region are some of the tallest mountains, some of the heaviest snowfalls, and the largest glacier in North America. Between the abrupt mountain...
