Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5793121

The overall objective of the study is to provide information on the depositional environments and associated geologic processes that characterize the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta complex. The specific objectives of the study are directly related to the initial phase of selecting offshore leases. They include to: provide information on the age of faulting and volcanism; provide information on the distribution of permafrost in the region; map the depositional environments of the modern Yukon Delta; study the seasonality of coastal processes in the Norton South region, emphasizing the patterns and rates of ice movement during the winter.
