Alaskan papers and abstracts published by the Geological Society of America, 1890-1978, indexed by quadrangle

This open—file report lists most papers and abstracts on the geology and mineral resources of Alaska published by the Geological Society of America from 1890 through 1978. They are listed by the quadrangles (scale 1:250,000) into which Alaska has been subdivided for topographic mapping (p. 2). Not included are papers and bibliographies on systematic paleontology.

Reports that deal with regional tectonic hypotheses, regional syntheses, Alaska as a whole, or with areas that cannot be identified with specific quadrangles and bibliographies are listed under Alaska — General. Many abstracts appear in this section because they are so worded that locations cannot be determined accurately enough to restrict areas discussed to specific quadrangles. Reports that deal with offshore areas not within quadrangle boundaries are listed under Offshore Areas. The Alaska — General and Offshore Areas lists appear before alphabetically arranged quadrangle listings.
