Radiochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, January 13-April 5 , 1972
L.J. Schroder, Wilbur C. Ballance
1972, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey collected 110 water samples from Amchitka Island, Alaska, between January 13 and April 5, 1972. Tritium determinations were made on all samples collected and gross alpha and gross beta/gamma determinations were made on 92 samples. The gross alpha and gross beta determinations when compared with previously...
Surface-water investigations at Barrow, Alaska
Stanley H. Jones
1972, Report
The U.S. Public Health Service is currently developing plans for a long-term water supply and sewage treatment system for the village of Barrow, Alaska. To assist in planning, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to initiate a cooperative streamflow data-collection program with the U.S. Public Health Service in June 1972...
Residues of organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and mercury in bald eagle eggs and changes in shell thickness--1969 and 1970

Twenty-three bald eagle eggs collected in Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida during 1969 and 1970 were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and mercury. All eggs contained residues of DDE, dieldrin, PCB's, and mercury. Average residue concentrations were lowest in eggs from Alaska. Significant eggshell thinning...
Hydraulic testing of hole UA-1-HTH-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance, G.A. Dinwiddie
1972, Report
Total depth of the hole was 1,054 meters (3,458 feet) but, because of borehole erosion and bridging, only about 198 meters (650 feet) of the hole was·hydraulically tested with straddle packers. Some information was obtained on the lower part of the hole by use of the pressure recorders which are...
Channel erosion surveys along proposed TAPS route, Alaska, July 1971
Joseph M. Childers
1972, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey has the threefold responsibility along the proposed route of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS): to investigate possible hydroloqic hazards to the pipeline, to investigate possible impacts of the pipeline on water resources, and to develop a better understanding of Arctic hydrology. Because the proposed pipeline route...
Influence of grounding ice on the Arctic shelf of Alaska

1972, Marine Geology (13) 323-334
Alaska's Beaufort Sea shelf is characterized by small-scale relief with an average amplitude of 1–2 m and wavelength of 50–100 m. Diving observations confirm that much of the bottom roughness reflects the action of grounded ice. Except for areas in the shadow of...

Maps showing distribution of anomalous amounts of selected elements in stream-sediment and rock samples, Eagle quadrangle, Alaska
1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 356
Maps showing the distribution of anomalous amounts of selected elements found in more than 1,600 stream-sediment and more than 1,500 rock samples have been prepared form results of semiquantitative spectrographic analyses. The samples were collected in the Eagle quadrangle, east-central Alaska, in the summers of 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971. Figure...

1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 350
The area between Knik and Turnagain Arms east of Anchorage is underlain mostly by rocks that are part of an extensive arcuate belt of thick Mesozoic marine deposits that extend through the Chugach-Kenai-Kodiak Mountains. The two main units in this belt are the Jurassic (?) and Cretaceous Valdez (?) Group...
Reconnaissance geologic map and geochemical analyses of stream-sediment and rock samples of the Anchorage A-6 quadrangle, Alaska
Sandra H. B. Clark, Martha E. Yount
1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 351
A reconnaissance geologic map and analytical data for 70 stream-sediment samples and 34 rock samples for the Anchorage A-6 1:63,360 scale quadrangle are presented in this report, together with a statistical treatment of the geochemical data. The bedrock was mapped and samples collected during the summers of 1969, 1970, and...

The hydraulic geometry of some Alaskan streams south of the Yukon River
William W. Emmett
1972, Open-File Report 72-108
Channel geometry surveys were conducted to determine bankfull stage, discharge, and other hydraulic parameters at 22 locations along the proposed route of the trans-Alaska pipeline corridor south of the Yukon River. Combined with the records from gaging stations located at some of the sites, the data are sufficient to describe...
