The State of Alaska funded this work through a Capital Improvement Project with additional funding and support from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through a National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Resource Inventory and Database Development Grant (L18AC00019-03). We appreciate the AKDOT&PF's Northern Engineering Geology and Drill Crew's support. Specifically, we thank engineering geologists Seth Hooper and Jocelyn Simpson for joining us for portions of the field reconnaissance and overseeing the drilling operations, drill crew members Matt Sousa, Pete Lanigan, and Gaelen Nelson for their drilling expertise, and Kimbar Harnar for finalizing the test hole logs. We are thankful for the bear-guard services provided by Scott Brower and camp operations and logistics support provided by Zach Spath. Pilot Adam Stockland of Pathfinder Aviation provided invaluable assistance in the field. In addition, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, North Slope Borough, U.S. Geological Survey, and BLM provided much-appreciated logistical support and guidance during field preparation and data collection efforts, which ensured a successful field season.
The Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (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. The ASTAR team worked with communities and regional stakeholders to identify which projects and project areas may benefit the region most by prioritizing community and cultural connectivity, regional support, reduced cost of living, increased safety, and responsible infrastructure development. Construction-grade sand and gravel materials are lacking in the studied region. Our detailed sedimentological descriptions and test hole data are essential to understand better surface-material resources' quality, quantity, and distribution.
