    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGY OF THE CRAIG QUADRANGLE, ALASKA By G. D. Eberlein, Michael Churkin, Jr., Claire Carter, H. C. Berg, and A. T. Ovenshine Open-File Report 83-91 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and strati graphic nomenclature Menlo Park, California 1983 Geology of the Craig Quadrangle, Alaska By G. D. Eberlein, Michael Churkin, Jr., Claire Carter, H. C. Berg, and A. T. Ovenshine Introduction This report consists of the following: 1) Geologic map (1:250,000) (Fig. 1); includes Figs. 2-4, index maps 2) Description of map units 3) Map showing key fossil and geochronology localities (Fig. 5) 4) Table listing key fossil collections 5) Correlation diagram showing Silurian and Lower Devonian facies changes in the northwestern part of the quadrangle (Fig. 6) 6) Sequence of Paleozoic restored cross sections within the Alexander terrane showing a history of upward shoaling volcanic-arc activity (Fig. 7). The Craig quadrangle contains parts of three northwest-trending tectonostratigraphic terranes (Berg and others, 1972, 1978). From southwest to northeast they are the Alexander terrane, the Gravina-Nutzotin belt, and the Taku terrane. The Alexander terrane of Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, and Paleozoic and Mesozoic plutonic rocks, underlies the Prince of Wales Island region southwest of Clarence Strait. Supracrustal rocks of the Alexander terrane range in age from Early Ordovician into the Pennsylvanian, are unmetamorphosed and richly fossiliferous, and aopear to stratigraphically overlie pre-Middle Ordovician metamorphic rocks of the Wales Group (Eberlein and Churkin, 1970).

  • Caribou Herd Plan Atlin EN Disclaimer.Pdf
    Provincial Caribou Recovery Program Herd Planning Disclaimer The following herd plans are a result of Phase One planning and are an incomplete product. Additionally, the documents are ‘living’ reports and will be updated regularly as Phase Two progresses. Phase Two planning is currently underway for some herds however still at its early stages of development; many plans reflect this as they are in different stages along their scheduled project continuum. One of the cornerstone guiding principles to the Caribou Recovery Program (the Program) is to use consistent, fact-based approaches for all woodland caribou herds in the province. The Program has refined and adopted a new format to herd planning that will effectively: Provide a consistent approach to managing all woodland caribou herds in BC Recognize the unique circumstances of each herd Build from current (legacy) caribou management plans Consider First Nations’ and stakeholder interests and ideas Be included in larger regional plans Completed herd plans will describe the status of each herd, and the threats faced by that particular herd. The plans will take note of previous actions, and actions that are planned to take place in the future. As we implement the herd plans, the Program will carefully monitor to which extent and magnitude the caribou respond, and modify its actions as accordingly. Herd plans will help us document our decisions and discuss issues with First Nations and with stakeholders. Phase One consisted of: Status of herd or sub-population Identified threats Literature Previous work completed Phase Two will consist of input from: . Engagement with Indigenous communities .

Executive Summary This report presents findings from a forest inventory conducted on 69,790 acres of state land in Southeast Alaska. Timber types were mapped on state land available for timber management in the Southeast State Forest, the Prince of Wales Island Area Plan, Prince of Wales Island Area Plan Amendment and the Central-Southern Southeast Area Plan. This inventory updates a draft report issued in 2011 by deleting lands identified for conveyance to the Wrangell Borough. The net timber base in the inventoried area is 44,196 acres and the annual allowable cut is estimated to be 11,200 thousand board feet (MBF) per year.

  • Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program
    . i, WUOE (ixlw Technical Report Number 54 Volume 1 -, Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program Sponsor: Bureau of Land Management — Alaska Outer ‘ Bering–Normn Pwdeum Development Scenarios Sociocultural Syst~ms Analysis The United States Department of the Interior was designated by the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act of 1953 to carry out the majority of the Act’s provisions for administering the mineral leasing and develop- ment of offshore areas of the United States under federal jurisdiction. Within the Department, the Bureau of Land Management (ELM) has the responsibility to meet requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as well as other legislation and regulations dealing with the effects of offshore development. In Alaska, unique cultural differences and climatic conditions create a need for developing addi- tional socioeconomic and environmental information to improve OCS deci- sion making at all governmental levels. In fulfillment of its federal responsibilities and with an awareness of these additional information needs, the BLM has initiated several investigative programs, one of which is the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program (SESP). The Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program is a multi-year research effort which attempts to predict and evaluate the effects of Alaska OCS Petroleum Development upon the physical, social, and economic environ- ments within the state. The overall methodology is divided into three broad research components. The first component identifies an alterna- tive set of assumptions regarding the location, the nature, and the timing of future petroleum events and related activities. In this component, the program takes into account the particular needs of the petroleum industry and projects the human, technological, economic, and environmental offshore and onshore development requirements of the regional petroleum industry.

Anderson Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland, OR; [email protected] Justin A. Junge Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland, OR; [email protected] ABSTRACT Changing arctic settlement patterns are associated with shifts in socioeconomic organization and interaction at both the inter- and intra-regional levels; analysis of Arctic settlement patterns can inform research on the emergence and spread of Arctic maritime adaptations. Changes in late pre-contact settlement patterns in northwest Alaska suggest significant shifts in subsistence and/or social organization, but the patterns themselves are not well understood.
