Without exception, we have found her to be industrious, dedicated, efficient, and of unflagging good humor. Fully half of the publications listed in this brochure couldn't have been produced without her. STATE OF ALASKA For over 20 years, Bobbi has routinely typed (and corrected) Tony Knowles, Governor all the sesquipedalian buzzwords in the geologist's lexicon, from allochthonous to zeugogeosyncline (with stops at DEPARTMENT OF hypabyssal and poikiloblastic)-without having even the NATURAL RESOURCES remotest idea of their meaning. John T. Shively, Commissioner DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL & Such zeal. Bobbi has spent most of her adult life typing error- GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS free documents about an arcane subject she knows virtually Milton A. Wiltse, Acting Director and nothing about. If, at the end of her career, someone would ask State Geologist her what she spent the last few decades typing, I'm positive Bobbi would shyly smile and say, "I'm not really sure. Some- Publication of DCCS reports is required by thing about rocks." Alaska Statute 41, "to determine the poten- tial ofAlaskan land for production of metals, minerals, fuels, and geothermal resources; Now THAT'S dedication. the location and supplies of groundwater and construction materials; the potential geologic hazardsto buildings, roads, bridges, and other installations and structures; and .

They are formal and informal articles and reports predominantly about mining and mineral assessments. These publications are listed alphabetically by author. Prices listed are for photocopies. Pamphlets (PN) The pamphlets were developed by the Department of Mines in Alaska's territorial days. During World War II the study of strategic minerals became a nationalpriority. After World War I1 the need to develop materials for potential new industries led to the study of industrialminerals such as limestoneandasbestos. Thesepamphlets are out ofprint Prices listed are for photocopies. Professional Reports (PR) Professional Reports (PK)serve to communicate new data andoriginalideas to other earth scientists. Two characteristics separate the Professional Report from the other categories of DGGS documents: (a) the PR is the completed product of original research and analyses; and (b)professionalcartography and thorough peer review, editing, and revision to ensure accuracy. Professional Reports are sold at cost Public-Data Files (PDF) The objective of the Public-Data File (PDF) series is to make project data available to the public as soon as possible. To expedite information release, PDFs are not reviewed or edited. ldentification numbers reflect the year of publication. Some numbers have been skipped in the sequence of numbers (for example, PDFs 84-1 through 84-9): reports do not exist for these missing numbers. Prices are determined by reproduction (photocopy, blueline, or on-demand color plot from electronic file, 400 dpi) costs. Publications Available on Disk Some of the publications listed in this section are available only on disk, some are avail- able on paper or on disk, and others use both paper and disk for one report. All floppy disks were prepared on IBM or IBM-compatible computers with math coprocessors. All are in ASCII format. Unless an order specifies otherwise, 3 %-inch disks will be sent Most of the files are compressed and a copy of the decompression program is provided.
