Many people at Atlantic Richfield contributed significantly to the Kandik study. The authors gratefully acknowledge Thomas J. Barnes, Grant Cushing, Elizabeth A. Eide, Bill Gilmore, and William J. Grether for field mapping and regional geologic evaluation; Michael Gardner and Kris E. Meisling for field mapping and structural analysis; Fred H. Behnken and Tim Carr for conodont separation and identification; Jim Chatham and Leslie Lee Lundell for surface and source-rock geochemistry; Jeff Corrigan and James Talbot for geochronology; Ray Christopher and H.M. (Bud) Simpson for palynological analysis; and Gerry Arp for soil and plant geochemistry. Michael Churkin, Jr., and Don K. Norris led field trips that introduced us to the area. Discussions with David G. Howell, Mark J. Johnsson, and Michael B. Underwood were helpful, and reviews by David Howell, Laurel Burns, and Frank Larson improved the final product. ARCO Alaska, Inc., and Doyon, Limited, provided permission and financial support to publish this study. This map was converted to GeMS or digitized into GeMS by Kinney Engineering, LCC., quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff (Chris Wyatt). Ally M. Steinleitner implemented final database quality control and packaging. This geologic map (or report or conversion or product, etc.) was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under STATEMAP award number G24AC00521, 2024, and the State of Alaska General Fund. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.
This map provides geologic information for the Kandik area and adjacent Doyon, Limited, lands to support evaluation of regional structure, stratigraphy, and geologic conditions relevant to hydrocarbon assessment and geologic modeling. It illustrates the distribution of geologic units, major structural features, and key stratigraphic relationships needed to understand the regional framework and to inform resource evaluation, geologic interpretation, and land-use planning.
