Molnia an? Mark C. Wheeler U.S. Geological Survey Menlo Park, California OPEN-FILE REPORT 78-2 84 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey - standards and nomenclature. Menlo Park, California March 1978 INTRODUCTION Observations of the Gulf of Alaska coastline in Glacier Bay National Monu- ment were conducted between June 1975 and July 1977 to: (1) characterize the beach environment, and (2) assess the effects of an oil spill (fig. 1). These included overflights in June 1975, June 1976, July 1976, January 1977, May 1977, and July 1977 when photographic observations were made from small fixed-wing aircraft and field observations in June 1975, July 1976, January 1977, and July 1977. Field observations consisted of measuring beach morphology, sediment dis- tribution, and vegetation type, and characterization of beach dynamics between Fairweather Glacier and La Perouse Glacier. Ninety sediment samples were collected and analyzed for grain size in the Menlo Park USGS sediment laboratory. Beach morphology at selected sites was determined by profiling from the limit of storm deposited debris (mostly wood) to the surf zone. In 1976, 30 profiles were made, ten of which were revisited in 1977. In all 55 profiles were measured. A qualitative estimate of the effects of an oil spill for the Monument coastline between Sea Otter Creek and Icy Point as well as each of the profile stations has been made based on field observations and a susceptibility scheme by Hayes and Owens (Hayes et al., 1976; Owens, 1977).

  • Shining Mountains, Nameless Valleys: Alaska and the Yukon Terris Moore and Kenneth Andrasko
    ALASKA AND THE YUKON contemplate Bonington and his party edging their way up the S face of Annapurna. In general, mountain literature is rich and varied within the bounds of a subject that tends to be esoteric. It is not easy to transpose great actions into good, let alone great literature-the repetitive nature of the Expedition Book demonstrates this very well and it may well be a declining genre for this reason. Looking to the future a more subtle and complex approach may be necessary to to give a fresh impetus to mountain literature which so far has not thrown up a Master of towering and universal appeal. Perhaps a future generation will provide us with a mountaineer who can combine the technical, literary and scientific skills to write as none before him. But that is something we must leave to time-'Time, which is the author of authors'. Shining mountains, nameless valleys: Alaska and the Yukon Terris Moore and Kenneth Andrasko The world's first scientific expedition, sent out by Peter the Great-having already proved by coasting around the E tip of Siberia that Asia must be separated from unseen America-is now, July, 1741, in the midst of its second sea voyage of exploration. In lower latitudes this time, the increasing log of sea miles from distant Petropavlovsk 6 weeks behind them, stirs Com­ mander Vitus Bering and his 2 ship captains, Sven Waxell of the 'St. Peter' and Alexei Chirikov of the 'St Paul', to keen eagerness for a landfall of the completely unexplored N American coast, somewhere ahead.

  • Sculpted by Water, Elevated by Earthquakes—The Coastal Landscape of Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
    Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory and the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping By Robert C. Witter,1 Adam LeWinter,2 Adrian M. Bender,1 3 2 The Coastal Landscape of Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska Craig Glennie, and David Finnegan 1U.S. Geological Survey; 2U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; 3National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping Introduction 137°20’ 137°10’ 137°00’ 58°35’ 58°30’ Within Glacier Bay National Park in southeastern Alaska, the Fairweather Fault represents the onshore boundary between two of Earth’s constantly moving tectonic plates: the North American Plate and the Yakutat microplate. Satellite measurements South Crillon indicate that during the past few decades the Yakutat microplate has moved northwest at a rate of nearly 5 centimeters per year Glacier relative to the North American Plate. Motion between the tectonic plates results in earthquakes on the Fairweather Fault during FAIRWEATHER FAULT time intervals spanning one or more centuries. For example, in 1958, a 260-kilometer section of the Fairweather Fault ruptured during a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, causing permanent horizontal (as much as 6.5 meters) and vertical (as much as 1 meter) B displacement of the ground surface across the fault. Thousands to millions of years of tectonic plate motion, including earthquakes like the one in 1958, raised and shifted the ground surface across the Fairweather Fault, while rivers, glaciers, and C FAIRWEATHER FAULT ocean waves eroded and sculpted the surrounding landscape along the Gulf of Alaska coast in Glacier Bay National Park (fig.
