Wallace R. Hansen
1965, Professional Paper 542-A
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is about 80 miles west-northwest of the epicenter of the March 27 earthquake. Because of its size, Anchorage bore the brunt of property damage from the quake; it sustained greater losses than all the rest of Alaska combined. Damage was caused by direct seismic vibration, by...
Tectonic deformation, subaqueous slides, and destructive waves associated with the Alaskan March 27, 1964, earthquake: an interim geologic evaluation
George Plafker, L.R. Mayo
1965, Open-File Report 65-124
The great earthquake which struck Alaska on Good Friday, March 27, 1964, caused severe damage to the coast of south-central Alaska mainly through vertical tectonic displacements, subaqueous slides, and destructive waves of diverse origins.Notable changes in land level occurred over an area in excess of 50,000 square miles in a...
Water resources appraisal of the Anchorage area, Alaska
David A. Sommers, Melvin V. Marcher
1965, Open-File Report 65-151
At the present, water use in the Anchorage area amounts to about 21 mgd (million gallons per day); of this amount ground water accounts for about 10 mgd. By 1980, 60 mgd may be required to meet the demand.The greatest potential problem is overpumping the ground-water reservoir resulting in excessive...
Geology and ore deposits of the central York Mountains, western Seward Peninsula, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury
1965, Open-File Report 65-142
In the central York Mountains, carbonate rocks of Lower and Middle Ordovician age and aggregating at least 8,000 feet thick are thrust northward over slate and argillaceous limestone of pre-Ordovician age which were intruded by gabbro in pre-Ordovician time. Normal faults of four distinct systems cut the thrust plates, and...
