Erosion, deposition, faulting, and instability of shelf sediments: eastern Gulf of Alaska. Section 3. The taxonomy, ecology, and zoogeography of the Holocene and Pleistocene ostracode fauna of the Gulf of Alaska. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6310514
The primary goal of the study has been to provide pertinent information on the age, environment, and sediment transport of continental-shelf sediments of the northeast Gulf of Alaska based on the ostracode assemblages. In addition, these studies provide information tabulating the ostracode species present as well as associated faunal and floral elements. These data on the patterns of distribution and abundance of benthic organisms provide a baseline prior to the development of oil and gas leases on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Alaska.
