During the summer of 2022, geologists from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) and ASRC Consulting & Environmental Services, LLC (ACES) conducted fieldwork in an area of approximately 12,000 km2 in northwestern Alaska between the communities Utqiaġvik, Atqasuk, and Wainwright in support of a sand and gravel resource assessment for the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) Project. This data collection is released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31010. Purpose: The ASTAR Project is a collaborative effort initiated by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in partnership with the North Slope Borough to identify, evaluate, and advance opportunities to enhance the quality of life and economic opportunities in North Slope communities through responsible infrastructure development.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Not applicable Completeness_Report: This data releaase is complete. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Locations were collected using GPS-enabled tablets running the ESRI ArcGIS Collector app, with a reported horizontal error of approximately 10 m. Latitude and longitude are reported in the WGS84 datum. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Auger sites - Data from drilled test holes were collected by field geologists using a Tanaka power-auger to drill on favorable terrain such as a flat, dry surface, often on a raised tundra polygon. We used the average of three ice probe refusals (cm) to determine the active layer depth of ice, frozen soils, bedrock, or clay-rich materials that limited auger performance. Two geologists operated the Tanaka power-auger while one geologist described sediment churned from the auger flight and carried to the surface. Each auger flight is approximately 132 cm long and 7 cm in diameter. During drilling, geologists looked for any visible changes in sediment character. Geologists recorded observations using tablets running the ESRI Arc Collector app, and sediment samples were retrieved if appropriate. Process_Date: 2022 Process_Step: Process_Description: Outcrops - We cleaned surfaces at soil profiles exposed along bluff, river, and lake margins, allowing us to describe soil and sediment stratigraphy on freshly exposed vertical surfaces. When appropriate, we described sedimentary and pedogenic features using U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service terminology (Schoeneberger, 2012). We collected serial bulk and oriented samples from documented soil horizons for laboratory geotechnical analyses. After data collection, we replaced sediment to restore the outcrop to the fullest extent possible. Process_Date: 2022 Process_Step: Process_Description: Test pits - At sites unsuitable for drilling auger test holes or collecting profile descriptions, we dug a test pit to collect subsurface data. We used a hand shovel to expose subsurface sediment and dig test pits to depths of approximately 30 cm. We used trowels to clean freshly exposed surfaces to describe stratigraphy and collect samples. After data collection, we replaced the sediment. Process_Date: 2022 Process_Step: Process_Description: Surface observations - We collected data and made observations about the surface material. The surface was generally left undisturbed; however, we sometimes collected representative rock samples, using a hand trowel when necessary.
