Tectonic framework of petroliferous rocks in Alaska: hydrocarbons Tectonic framework of petroliferous rocks in Alaska: hydrocarbons
Alaska, which contains about 28% of the land and continental shelf of the United States, is estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey to contain about one third of the nation's undiscovered oil and about one sixth of its undiscovered natural gas. The Survey estimates that fields discovered in Alaska through 1972 ultimately may produce about 26 billion bbl of oil and 68 Tcf of natural gas...

Distribution and density of bird species hazardous to aircraft Distribution and density of bird species hazardous to aircraft
Only in the past 5 years has it become feasible to map the relative abundance of North American birds. Two programs presently under way and a third that is in the experimental phase are making possible the up-to-date mapping of abundance as well as distribution. A fourth program that has been used successfully in Europe and on a small scale in parts of North America yields detailed...
