2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: 2013 (process 1 of 3)

   Bedrock geologic mapping - Bedrock field investigations for the Alaska Highway corridor project were conducted over several summers between 2006 and 2013. Bedrock units were mapped and structural elements were measured in the field. Where surficial units and vegetation cover bedrock units, units were interpreted using airborne-magnetic and electromagnetic surveys published by DGGS in 2006. Rock names were assigned based on field and petrographic observations, modal-mineral percentages, and interpretations of geochemical data. Age determination and interpretation of cross-cutting relationships where facilitated by 40Ar/39Ar, Zircon U-Pb, and apatite fission-track geochronologic analysis. Data sources used in this process:

   • Athey, J.E. and others, 2002
   • Burns, L.E. and others, 2019
   • Newberry, R.J., 2012
   • Reger, R.D. and Pewe, T.L., 2002
   • Werdon, M.B. and others, 2001
   • Werdon, M.B. and others, 2003

   Date: 2019 (process 2 of 3)

   Geologic map compilation - Data for the digital geologic map was digitized from a Mylar geologic field map compilation. This compilation was done on a one to one scale, stable Mylar of the USGS topographic base for each of the 1:63,360 scale USGS topographic bases included in the map area. The report and accompanying data were evaluated by project staff and peer reviewers for readability and logical consistency with related information sources.

   Date: 2021 (process 3 of 3)

   GIS analysis and digital cartography - The geologic and geographic features portrayed in this data distribution package were organized and attributed according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema. Data sources used in this process:

   • Ekberg, P.G. and others, 2021
   • Hendricks, M.D. and others, 2021

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?
   Certainty in attribute interpretation varies throughout the map and is scale dependant. Attribute fields within each feature class record the authors' degree of confidence in the existence or identity of applicable features.
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
   Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Data fields within each feature class and the accompanying orientation and location confidence lookup tables record the authors' degree of confidence in the location of applicable features.
3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
   
4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   This publication is released as a DGGS Preliminary Interpretive Report (PIR). A PIR is intended to provide timely release maps and reports with a preliminary interpretation of geology or analytical data. One or two people familiar with the geologic problem have reviewed this publication for technical content.
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   All polygon features were topologically validated according to specifications of the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
