Interview with James Roberson, a Navy veteran, concerning his experiences while aboard the submarines USS Sailfish in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Submarine School, New London, Connecticut, 1942; his responsibilities as a motor machinist's mate; qualification examinations; various patrols off the Aleutian Islands and in the South China Sea; lifeguard duty off the Mariana Islands for downed airmen.

Interview with Lieutenant Colonel Richard Salter, an Army Air Corps veteran, concerning his experiences during internment in the Soviet Union after the downing of his bomber by Japanese planes (1943-1944). Salter also discusses Alaskan operations and his postwar career in the Air Force.

Interview with Zenji Abe, an Imperial Japanese Navy veteran, concerning his experiences as a dive-bomber pilot during the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, his participation in the Aleutians Campaign in June 1942 and the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" in May 1944, and the surrender of Rota Island on September 2, 1945.

Transcript of an interview with Admiral Jerry (Gerald) Miller, a Navy veteran, concerning his experiences in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Miller discusses his assignment to the USS Richmond, Komandorski Island action, the Aleutians Campaign, and his post-World War II naval career.

The following report documents results taken from a reconnaissance geochemical survey that was conducted in the northwest-trending Alexander terrane, Gravina-Nutzotin overlap assemblage, and Taku terrane in southeast Alaska in the Craig and Dixon Entrance quadrangles and the western edges of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles.

This report covers the study of thermal maturity of sedimentary basins in Alaska taken place in the early 1990s.

The following report follows a geochemical survey and its findings in the Valdez quadrangle in south-central Alaska.

The following report analyzes the geological features of a 6-km by 0.3-km strip of glacially polished rocks of the Nelchina River Gabbronorite located in the eastern part of the Anchorage quadrangle.

The goal of this project was to provide constraints on the subsurface geometry of the vent, feeder conduit(s), and possible intrusive bodies in the Novarupta Basin, Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes (VTTS), Katmai National Park, Alaska. This research was designed to support the Katmai Drilling Project, a consortium involving the DOE, NSF, other government agencies, and several universities. Our work aimed at providing information to help guide site selection and identify targets for the drilling program. However, our research also has contributed to the understanding of silicic volcanic systems in general. Understanding the subsurface geometry of the vent is essential for accurately modeling the present thermal regime in the vent region and the eruption dynamics. Determining the origin of surficial fractures indicated the effect of compaction and consolidation of tephra and orientation of the depositional surface on fracture formation. Our research plan included (1) completion of a detailed topographic-structural map of surface fractures including spatial distribution and relative displacements; (2) numerical modeling studies that related surface fractures to major subsurface structures; and (3) interpretation of the origin of surface fractures in light of these model studies.

A report which provides an overview of eruptions from Mount Spurr and the Alaska Volcano Observatory's response to them.

A collection of papers which report on the geologic investigations in Alaska. It represents the broad range of U.S. Geologic Survey research activities carried out in Alaska.

A report about metamorphic rocks exposed near Juneau, Alaska. The belt they are in had a complex history of deformation, metamorphism, and plutonism.

A report about late triassic bivalves of the genus monotis. So far, 14 kinds of Monotis that differ in species or subspecies level can be recognized from Alaska.

A non-fiction book about Native Americans serving in the military during World War II, as well as Native American efforts on the home-front. The book also chronicles attempts by Nazi propagandists to exploit Native Americans for the Third Reich, and the postwar experiences of Native Americans. Includes photographs of Native American civilians and military personnel. Index starts on page 219.

A report about a test which can determine which USBL system performs best in conditions that approximate those in Bristol Bay, Alaska. In the future, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center will need to track bottom fishing trawls in order to assess their impact upon the sea floor biology in Alaska.

Abstract: Researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted field investigations at the Greens Creek Mine in southeast Alaska for the purpose of validating computer design of mining methods and assessing real-time monitoring capabilities. The field study required the application of new technology because of the remoteness of the study site, the need for timely acquisition of data, and a limited budget for instruments and data acquisition. Various sensors were installed to monitor rock mass deformation and strain, temperature, SO gas emissions, and blasting. Data were collected through a distributed personal computer network and high-speed modems. These readings were used to develop visualization models of underground metal mining operations and drift-and-fill mining and real-time graphics displays of ground conditions. Results of the field tests showed that it is possible to gather, process, visualize, and verify mine designs on a real-time basis.

From introduction: This report focuses on the placer geology of individual creeks; mining, history of the area, high terrace gravels, and the gold source of the Fortymile River area in Alaska.
