Processing of Landsat imagery to map surface mineral alteration on the Alaska Peninsula: A section in USGS research on mineral resources, 1985 program and abstracts Processing of Landsat imagery to map surface mineral alteration on the Alaska Peninsula: A section in USGS research on mineral resources, 1985 program and abstracts
Landsat images were digitally processed to facilitate assessment of the mineral resources of the Port Moller, Stepovak Bay, and Simeonof Island 1:250,000 quadrangles. Field mapping and assessment of these quadrangles were begun in 1983 as part of the Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program (AMRAP). It was quickly realized that time and budget constraints would limit mapping coverage...

Eruption in an ice-filled caldera, Mount Veniaminof, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983 Eruption in an ice-filled caldera, Mount Veniaminof, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983
The more prominent of the two visible intracaldera cones of Mount Veniaminof went into eruption in early June 1983 and continued until early April 1984. Veniaminof is a 2,507-m-high composite cone having an 8 x 11-km summit caldera which formed 3,300-3,700 yr B.P. (Miller and Smith, 1977). The active 1.6x1.2-km cone protrudes 200 m through the glacial ice filling the caldera; it lies in...

Newly discovered Holocene volcanic vents, Port Moller and Stepovak Bay quadrangles, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983 Newly discovered Holocene volcanic vents, Port Moller and Stepovak Bay quadrangles, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983
Reconnaissance mapping in 1982-83 suggests previously unreported Holocene volcanic activity in the area 14-24 km southwest of Kupreanof Volcano (fig. 45). One young volcanic vent has been observed along the divide between Stepovak Bay and Bear Lake, and the locations of two others are inferred from the position of morphologically young lava flows mapped in valleys draining into Clark Bay...

Digital image processing techniques for detecting surface alteration - An application on the Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983 Digital image processing techniques for detecting surface alteration - An application on the Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1983
The tectonic evolution of the Alaska Peninsula makes it a likely area for the discovery of significant mineral deposits. However, because of problems associated with remoteness and poor weather, little detailed mineral exploration work has been carried on there. This study focuses on using Landsat multispectral scanner data for the Port Moller, Stepovak Bay, and Simeon of Island...

Review of radiometric data from the Yukon crystalline terrane, Alaska and Yukon Territory Review of radiometric data from the Yukon crystalline terrane, Alaska and Yukon Territory
The results of more than 20 years of geochronological studies in the Yukon Crystalline Terrane in east-central Alaska and the western Yukon Territory suggest at least six igneous and thermal (metamorphic?) events. Plutonism during Mississippian, Early Jurassic, mid-Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous, and early Tertiary times is indicated. Evidence also indicates that Mississippian, Early...

Geochronology, geochemistry, and tectonic environment of porphyry mineralization in the central Alaska Peninsula Geochronology, geochemistry, and tectonic environment of porphyry mineralization in the central Alaska Peninsula
Porphyry type sulfide systems on the central Alaska Peninsula occupy a transition zone between the Aleutian island magmatic arc and the continental magmatic arc of southern Alaska. Mineralization occurs associated with early and late Tertiary magmatic centers emplaced through a thick section of Mesozoic continental margin clastic sedimentary rocks. The systems are of the molybdenum-rich...

Radiometric age file for Alaska: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980 Radiometric age file for Alaska: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980
The Alaska radiometric age file of the Branch of Alaskan Geology is a computer-based compilation of radiometric dates from the state of Alaska and the western parts of the Yukon Territory and British Columbia. More than 1800 age determinations from over 250 references have been entered in the file. References date back to 1958 and include both published and unpublished sources. The file...

Reconnaissance geochemical studies in the Bristol Bay, Ugashik, and Karluk quadrangles, Alaska: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980 Reconnaissance geochemical studies in the Bristol Bay, Ugashik, and Karluk quadrangles, Alaska: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980
Geochemical reconnaissance studies in the Bristol Bay, Ugashik, and Karluk quadrangles were completed with collection and analyses of more than 1,200 stream-sediment and heavy mineral-concentrate samples during 1979 and 1980. At least two areas of possible metallic mineral occurrence have been delineated by results of the analyses, geologic fieldwork, and data provided by Bear Creek...

Preliminary results of potassium-argon age determinations from the Ugashik quadrangle, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980 Preliminary results of potassium-argon age determinations from the Ugashik quadrangle, Alaska Peninsula: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980
Early and preliminary results of potassiumargon dating work on samples from 12 sites in the Ugashik quadrangle indicate a continuation of the geologic trends seen in the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles to the south (Wilson, 1980). Tertiary volcanic and hypabyssal rocks apparently fall into two age groups: early Tertiary-late Eocene to earliest Miocene and late Tertiary and...

Aeromagnetic survey of the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980 Aeromagnetic survey of the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980
The recently completed aeromagnetic survey of the Chignik and Sutwik Island quadrangles, on the Alaska Peninsula, is one of the most detailed systematic surveys ever made across a modern "volcanic arc" setting where both Holocene volcanic edifices and older volcanic centers occur (fig. 54).
