This work supports sand and gravel resource assessment for the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) Project. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30962. Purpose: This study was implemented as part of the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resource (ASTAR) project, which aims to evaluate sand and gravel resources along a corridor approximately between Nuiqsut, Atqasuk and Barrow, AK. The project will generate geologic maps and a database with information about location of geologic observations as well as the quality and types of geologic materials Supplemental_Information: >sample-descriptions: sample locations and descriptions Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2021 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -160.364944 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -157.208903 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 70.824519 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 70.200641 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: geoscientificInformation Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Theme_Keyword: Aggregate Theme_Keyword: Alluvial Deposits Theme_Keyword: Analyses and Sampling Theme_Keyword: Analytical Results Theme_Keyword: Arctic Deposit Theme_Keyword: Beach Deposits Theme_Keyword: Chert Theme_Keyword: Clay Theme_Keyword: Coastal Plain Theme_Keyword: Coastal and River Theme_Keyword: Construction Materials Theme_Keyword: DGGS Theme_Keyword: Engineering Geology Theme_Keyword: Facies Analysis Theme_Keyword: Geologic Theme_Keyword: Geologic Materials Theme_Keyword: Geology Theme_Keyword: Geotechnical Theme_Keyword: Gravel Theme_Keyword: Hydrology and Surficial Geology Theme_Keyword: Permafrost and Periglacial Theme_Keyword: Resource Assessment Theme_Keyword: Resource Information Theme_Keyword: Resources Theme_Keyword: Sample Location Theme_Keyword: Sand Theme_Keyword: Sand and Gravel Theme_Keyword: Sandstone Theme_Keyword: Sediment Theme_Keyword: Sedimentary Theme_Keyword: Sedimentary Rocks Theme_Keyword: Sedimentation Theme_Keyword: Sedimentology Theme_Keyword: Silt Theme_Keyword: Surface Theme_Keyword: Transportation Theme_Keyword: Transportation Corridor Theme_Keyword: Unconsolidated Deposits Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Place_Keyword: Atqasuk Place_Keyword: Avgumun Creek Place_Keyword: Barrow Place_Keyword: Chukchi Sea Place_Keyword: Igklo River Place_Keyword: Ikpilgok Place_Keyword: Inaru River Place_Keyword: Itinik, Lake Place_Keyword: Karmuk Point Place_Keyword: Kolipsun Creek Place_Keyword: Kucheak Creek Place_Keyword: Kugrua Bay Place_Keyword: Kugrua River Place_Keyword: Kuk River Place_Keyword: Kukak Creek Place_Keyword: Kunarak Creek Place_Keyword: Kungok River Place_Keyword: Lake Tuvak Place_Keyword: Maudheim Place_Keyword: Mikigealiak River Place_Keyword: Nalimiut Point Place_Keyword: Nigisaktuvik River Place_Keyword: North Slope Place_Keyword: North Slope Borough Place_Keyword: Omikmak Creek Place_Keyword: Papigak Creek Place_Keyword: Peard Cliff Place_Keyword: Pikroka Creek Place_Keyword: Point Collie Place_Keyword: Point Marsh Place_Keyword: Sigeakruk Point Place_Keyword: Sinaruruk River Place_Keyword: Tachinisok Inlet Place_Keyword: Takrak Lake Place_Keyword: Tikikluk Creek Place_Keyword: Torrent Inlet Place_Keyword: Tutolivik Place_Keyword: Tuvak, Lake Place_Keyword: Utqiagvik Place_Keyword: Wainwright Place_Keyword: Wainwright Inlet Place_Keyword: Walik Creek Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: Walker, J.D., Geissman, J.W., Bowring, S.A, and Babcock, L.E., comp., 2012, Geologic Time Scale v. 4.0: Geological Society of America Temporal_Keyword: Holocene Access_Constraints: This report, map, and/or dataset is available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below).

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management provided additional funding and support through a National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Resource Inventory and Database Development Grant (L18AC00019-03). DGGS ASTAR work supports a collaborative effort between the North Slope Borough and the Department of Natural Resources to strengthen community infrastructure and facilitate access to arctic resources while enhancing the quality of life and economic opportunities for North Slope communities. It also provides valuable information for land-use management and planning decisions. We appreciate the collaboration and support of AKDOT&PF. In addition, the Alaska Energy Services Corporation (ASRC), North Slope Borough, Olgoonik Corporation, and City and Native Village of Wainwright provided much-appreciated logistical support and guidance during field preparation and data collection efforts which ensured a successful field season. We would also like to importantly thank Anthony T. Gallagher (DGGS), Hans A. Hoffman (ASRC), and Timothy G. Tannenbaum (AKDOT&PF) for crucial guidance before and during the summer season identifying areas of interest, conducting fieldwork, and collecting essential data, as well as Rainer J. Newberry for assisting with rock identification and geochemical analysis in the lab, and David A. Harvey for helping with revisions to the text.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Sample collection - Location data were collected using GPS-enabled tablets running the ESRI ArcGIS Collector app, which have a reported error of approximately 10 m. Latitude and longitude are reported in the WGS84 datum. Sediment samples were collected between July 6 and July 21, 2021. Sediment sample labels correspond to field station locations. Samples were collected from outcrops, the ground surface adjacent to streams and lakes, and 7-cm-diameter auger holes drilled to a depth of approximately 3.5 m. All samples were stored in resealable plastic bags. At some locations we collected a series of samples across a vertical exposure (profile description or auger) to determine changes in sediment character. Bulk composition samples were also collected on ground surface or at the bottom of water bodies to obtain a representative sample at the field station site. Process_Date: 2021 Process_Step: Process_Description: Sample preparation - After returning from the field, samples were air-dried, described, and photographed. This data release consists of post-field sample descriptions made by geologists. Photographs are not included in this dataset but are available on the DGGS website photo database (Athey and others, 2017). The data have not been reviewed for technical content and should be considered preliminary. Process_Date: 2021 Process_Step: Process_Description: Analytical methods - Data include geotechnical data, descriptions, and photographs. We followed conventions used in the Alaska Geotechnical Field Manual where appropriate. Attribute information includes moisture content, color based on six standard Munsell colors: light brown, yellowish-orange, greenish-gray, olive-gray, light gray, and dark gray, Unified Soil Classification System soil type (USCS), maximum grain (clast) size, material (clast) concentration, clast composition (mineralogy or lithology), coarse-grained particle angularity, presence or absence of organics, and reaction when treated with 10 percent hydrochloric acid (HCl) .
