At the time of this study, Daniel Mann provided several useful discussions of the history of the Lituya Bay area, Ian Worley kindly shared some unpublished data on the distribution of the terraces, and Dorothy Fisher, Susan Karl, and William Pickthorn assisted in various stages of the field work. Russel G. Tysdal was an important part of the peat-coring team. Fieldwork was completed in 1975 and 1978 and we benefited greatly from the guidance and review comments on our original manuscript provided by Ken Lajoie in 1981. In the 1990s, Mary and Irv Tailleur saved us a lot of retyping time by providing an electronic copy of the original manuscript. This report would not have been resurrected from cardboard boxes on a garage shelf without the support and help of Marti L. Miller, Robert C. Witter, and Adrian Bender. Marti supported all of our efforts to update, revise, and publish the report. Robert provided excellent guidance, editing, and review as well as calibration of the original C-14 dates. Adrian was instrumental in redoing the original line drawings and adapting them to a geographic information system using 5-m resolution elevation data. The evolved manuscript benefited from helpful reviews provided by Harvey Kelsey, Frederic H. Wilson, and Marti L. Miller.
This study was implemented to determine the distribution, morphologic character, and age of the Lituya Bay terraces. This work highlights the role of tectonic processes in developing and changing coastal features of the Lituya Bay area
