References on Alaska and Adjacent Regions Cited In—The Geology of Alaska (George Plafker and H.C. Berg, editors) Compiled by J.G. Weathers1 and George Plafker1 Open-File Report 98–126 1998 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1 MS-901, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025-3591 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Weathers and Plafker, USGS Open-File Report 98–126 Introductory Note The purpose of this bibliography is to make available in digital form the extensive list of citations from the comprehensive book, The Geology of Alaska, which was published as one of the synthesis volumes of the Decade of North American Geology project series. The citation for the book is: Plafker, George and Berg, H.C., 1994, eds., The Geology of Alaska: Boulder, Colorado, Geological Society of America, The Geology of North America, v. G-1, 1055 p., 13 pls. The bibliography was compiled from citations in the 33 chapters and 13 plates that describe the geology and geophysics of each of Alaska’s principal onshore and offshore regions and also cover a full spectrum of topical subjects that include physiography, lithotectonic terranes, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochronology, geophysics, geochemistry, sedimentary basins, mineral and energy resources, glaciation, permafrost, neotectionics and tectonic evolution. With a total of 3,200 citations, this is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date bibliographies available for publications on earth sciences in Alaska and in adjacent regions of Canada and Russia. Preparation of this bibliography is part of the Geological Survey’s effort to develop a comprehensive digital data base on the geology and geophysics of the United States as mandated in the National Geologic Mapping Act of 1992. We hope that these references will be of assistance to earth scientists concerned with Alaska research. References are in standard U.S. Geological Survey and Geological Society of America bibliographic format. This Open-File Report is being released on the World Wide Web as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.

Elastic and permanent deformations accumulated during the interseismic period are a function of coupling across the megathrust interface between the underthrusting oceanic crust and the upper plate, and of the direction, rate, and duration of relative plate motions. Coseismic deformations result frbm seaward thrusting of the upper plate and depend upon dip of the megathrust, displacement along the megathrust, and the dip and displacements along subsidiary faults that may break through the upper plate. Transient postseismic displacements may occur that result from relatively slow elastic strain i release or creep deformation following an earthquake, | i Coseismic regional vertical displacements typically involve a central broad asymmetric downwarp elongate parallel to the arc with a flanking zone of marked uplift on the sea- | t ward side, and a zone of relatively minor uplift on the landward side. The major zones I of uplift and subsidence may extend from the trench to its associated volcanic are. In the 1960 Chile earthquake (Mw=9.5] deformation occurred for about 1,050 km parallel to the are over an area of 85,000+ km with shoreline vertical displacements to +5.7 m and -2.3 m.

    Alaska Range

    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.

The history of the explordtion of the Central Arctic Ocean is reviewed.It has been only within the last 15 years that any signifi- cant number of depth-sounding data have been collected.The present study uses seven million echo soundings collected by U. S. Navy nuclear submarines along nearly 40, 000 km of track to construct, for the first time, a reasonably complete picture of the physiography of the basin of the Arctic Ocean.The use of nuclear submarines as under-ice survey ships is discussed. The physiography of the entire Arctic basin and of each of the major features in the basin are described, illustrated and named. The dominant ocean floor features are three mountain ranges, generally paralleling each other and the 40°E. 140°W. meridian. From the Pacific- side of the Arctic basin toward the Atlantic, they are: The Alpha Cordillera; The Lomonosov Ridge; andThe Nansen Cordillera. The Alpha Cordillera is the widest of the three mountain ranges. It abuts the continental slopes off the Canadian Archipelago and off Asia across more than550of longitude on each slope.Its minimum width of about 300 km is located midway between North America and Asia.In cross section, the Alpha Cordillera is a broad arch rising about two km, above the floor of the basin.The arch is marked by volcanoes and regions of "high fractured plateau, and by scarps500to 1000 meters high.The small number of data from seismology, heat flow, magnetics and gravity studies are reviewed.The Alpha Cordillera is interpreted to be an inactive mid-ocean ridge which has undergone some subsidence.

    Siberian Coast & Polar Bears of Wrangel Island, Russia

    Siberian Coast & Polar Bears of Wrangel Island, Russia Aboard the Spirit of Enderby July 24–August 6, 2013 Tuesday / Wednesday July 23 / July 24 – Anadyr, Russia Arrival Over several days, North American trip participants slowly began to arrive in Nome, Alaska for our charter flights to Anadyr, Russia. Participants from other parts of the world made their way to Anadyr through Moscow. Altogether, passengers included passport holders from 11 countries. Many people had flown into Nome several days early, rented cars, and driven the local roads in search of accessible musk oxen in the meadows near town, Pacific and red-throated loons in small tundra ponds, and gulls, ducks and shorebirds along the coast. On July 23, most of our group consolidated their luggage in our Nome hotel lobby and had it loaded on a truck to be taken to our charter airline hangar, while we followed in a bus with our camera gear. Thick fog was drifting along the coast and, when we reached the hanger, we were informed the Nome Airport was closed to inbound air traffic. That posed no real problem for us because our small airplanes were already at the hangar in Nome, on stand-by and readily available, and, since the fog was intermittent, it seemed certain we would have almost no problem departing to Russia. A breakfast buffet was arranged in the hangar and we were regaled by local Nome personality Richard Beneville—who also organized our land-based transportation—with his tales of moving to Nome following his life as a theater actor in New York City and anecdotes of his decades-long life in hardscrabble Nome.

Bindeman*, John H. Fournelle, John W. Valley Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, 1215 West Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53706, USA Received 13 August 2000; revised 21 January 2001; accepted 20 February 2001 Abstract We present the results of an oxygen isotope study of phenocrysts in pumice clasts and ash layers produced by the 9100 yr BP composite dacite-basaltic andesite climactic eruption that formed Fisher Caldera in the eastern Aleutians. Products of the eruption represent a low-d 18O magma with d 18O plagioclase (14.79 ^ 0.24½) and clinopyroxene (3.81 ^ 0.23½) correspond- ing to equilibrium at magmatic temperatures. Dacitic and overlying basaltic±andesitic tephra of the climactic eruption, subsequent intracaldera basaltic to andesitic lavas, and a cumulate inclusion, are similarly low in d 18O. Other analyzed lavas and pyroclastics of Unimak island and the lower Alaska peninsula, as well as precaldera Fisher basalt, have normal d 18O magmatic values (.15.5½). We propose a model in which prior to 9100 yr BP, normal mantle-derived basaltic magma coalesced in a large shallow precaldera magma chamber during Late Wisconsin glaciation. Lowering of magmatic d 18O resulted then from long-term assimilation of ,5±10% of syn-glacial hydrothermally-altered country rocks. Differentiation of basaltic magma was concurrent with this assimilation and produced low-d 18O Fisher dacites, cumulates, and post-caldera crystal-richer lavas.
