| Abstract: | This is a collection of 20 papers that provide information on issues pertaining to environment and climate, hazards, resources, and geologic framework. Environmental geochemistry of parts of southwestern and south-central Alaska is the focus of four articles. A study of paleoclimate discusses emergent, postglacial lake shorelines in southwestern Alaska Two papers address geologic hazards. The first assesses ground deformation in Katmai National Park at Novarupta Dome, site of the largest volcanic eruption in this century, and the second evaluates earthquake risks related to the ‘Twin Peak Fault‘ near Anchorage. Resources, including metallic minerals in Northern, Southwestern, and Southeastern Alaska and coal in south-central Alaska, are discussed in four articles. Nine geologic framework studies apply a variety of techniques to a wide range of subjects throughout Alaska, including tectonics, geophysics, geochronology, biostratigraphy, sedimentology, paleogeography, and paleomagnetism. Two bibliographies list reports about Alaska in USGS publications released in 1995 and in outside publications by USGS authors. |
