Geologic Map of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert Quadrangles, Southeastern Alaska
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1807 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE KETCHIKAN AND PRINCE RUPERT QUADRANGLES, SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA By Henry C. Berg, Raymond L. Elliott, and Richard D. Koch INTRODUCTION This pamphlet and accompanying map sheet describe the geology of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles in southeastern Alaska (fig. 1). The report is chiefly the result of a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and mineral re sources of the quadrangles by the U.S. Geological Survey dur ing 1975-1977 (Berg, 1982; Berg and others, 1978 a, b), but it also incorporates the results of earlier work and of more re cent reconnaissance and topical geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). We gratefully acknowledge the dedicated pioneering photointerpretive studies by the late William H. (Hank) Con don, who compiled the first 1:250,000-scale reconnaissance geologic map (unpublished) of the Ketchikan quadrangle in the 1950's and who introduced the senior author to the study 130' area in 1956. 57'L__r-'-'~~~;:::::::,~~.::::r----, Classification and nomenclature in this report mainly fol low those of Turner (1981) for metamorphic rocks, Turner and Verhoogen (1960) for plutonic rocks, and Williams and others (1982) for sedimentary rocks and extrusive igneous rocks. Throughout this report we assign metamorphic ages to various rock units and emplacement ages to plutons largely on the basis of potassium-argon (K-Ar) and lead-uranium (Pb-U) (zircon) isotopic studies of rocks in the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles (table 1) and in adjacent areas.

They differ from Tech- nical Reports in terms of subject scope and potential audience: Manuscript Reports deal primarily with national or regional problems and distribution is generally restrict- ed to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries management, technology and development, ocean sciences, and aquatic environments relevant to Canada. Manuscript Reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report will be abstracted by Aquatic. Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and will be indexed annually in the Department's index to scientific and technical publications. Numbers 1-900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. -
The Emerging Law of Ocean Space
WILLIAM L. GRIFFIN * The Emerging Law of Ocean Space For centuries man's predominant activities in the ocean space have been fishing and navigation where water has facilitated the move- ment of trade and military power. Major scientific and technological advances, both conceptual and practical, of the past two decades have produced a new picture of ocean space activity. Man now has the ability and the political and economic incentives to occupy ocean space, and he is embarked upon intensive research, development, application, and evaluation of ocean space activities as an extension of his dry-land activities. The addi- tional environment of the water of ocean space must be reckoned with and requires new perspective on disparate political, social, economic and legal interests and attitudes. Total ocean space-water surface, water column, seabed, and subsoil-has a broad spectrum of diverse and often conflicting uses: expansion of navigation and fishing, extraction of oil and gas, harvest- ing of both fixed and migratory underseas "crops" at various levels and temperatures of submarine strata, extraction of chemicals from seawater, mining of ores from the seabed and subsoil, human habita- tion on the seabed, waste disposal, scientific research, and military testing. The simultaneous existence of a traditional water instrumentality orientation and the newer water environment orientation heightens disparate interests and conflicting uses of ocean space.

OFFICE OF COAST SURVEY NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE CANADA 15 OCTOBER 2004 COORDINATION ISSUES FOR BOUNDARY ELECTRONIC NAVIGATIONAL CHARTS AND PROPOSED WORK PLAN PREPARED BY: MICHAEL BROWN, OFFICE OF COAST SURVEY DOUG BRUNT, CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE REVISED OCT 2004 DRAFT 1.0 INTRODUCTION As directed by the United States–Canada Hydrographic Commission (USCHC), this paper identifies the issues surrounding the production and distribution of electronic navigational chart (ENC) data along the Canadian-U.S. border. The following sections will attempt to quantify the various constraints on the charting programs of both hydrographic offices, differences between the products and approaches, and options for ENC production and distribution in the boundary waters. The resources needed to produce and maintain ENCs are limited in both hydrographic offices. One objective of coordinating ENC production will be to limit duplication of effort between the two offices. A coordinated approach has already been used to reduce redundant coverage in the paper and raster chart coverage of the boundary waters and this should be extended to the ENC product line. A proposed work plan is presented to scope the time and tasks required to address and resolve the issues at hand. An “up-front” investment of personnel, time, and resources will be required from both HOs to capitalize on the long term benefits of coordinated and non-duplicated efforts in the borders ENCs. Resolution of the issues outlined in this paper must be consistent with the International Hydrographic Organization’s (IHO) Worldwide Electronic Navigational Chart Database (WEND) principles and to the greatest extent possible, follow the “Guidelines for the Establishment of ENC Production Boundaries” (Appendix A, IHO Technical Resolution K2.19). -
