The State of Alaska funded this work through the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) Capital Improvements Project. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management provided additional funding and support through an Alaska NPR-A Resource Inventory and Database Development Grant (L18AC00019). DGGS ASTAR work supports a collaborative effort between the North Slope Borough and the Alaska 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 greatly appreciate Amber Rhodes, Brayton Keith, Zach Spath, Kjol Johnson, and Tyler Stokes for their time and effort in reviewing samples and entering data. Tyler Stokes spent countless hours taking pictures and recording sample information. We thank Jean Riordan, Kurt Johnson, and Chris Ramey for supporting the GMC database and retrieving the samples. Additionally, we would like to thank Susan Seitz and Michael Hendricks for their guidance on database formatting and for reviewing this data.
This product improves access to historical geologic data to support sustainable infrastructure development and economic growth in North Slope communities. It provides georeferenced sample locations, drill card metadata, and high-resolution images of subsurface materials to help planners identify local sources of construction materials and coal. By reducing duplication and enabling coordinated data collection, it empowers stakeholders to make informed land-use decisions. This information directly supports community-identified needs such as safer transportation routes, lower construction costs, improved housing, and long-term resilience in remote regions like the NPR-A.
