Publication_Date: 1972 Title: Surficial geology of the Juneau urban area and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on earthquake and other geologic hazards Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: geodatabase Series_Information: Series_Name: Open-File Report Issue_Identification: OF 72-255 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: United States Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Other_Citation_Details: 108 p., 12 sheets, scale 1:24,000 Online_Linkage: https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/10955 Description: Abstract: Surficial geology of the Juneau urban area and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on earthquake and other geologic hazards, Open-File Report 72-255, presents results from a geologic study of surficial deposits in and near the Juneau urban area. The map area covers parts of the Juneau A-2, B-2, and B-3 quadrangles. The map and tables in the accompanying report show the distribution of the geologic formations, some of their physical properties, uses, and probable reactions to a severe earthquake. However, it is not the purpose of this study to predict in detail how an earthquake would affect any one place. The interpretations shown in the accompanying table should be regarded as indications of how certain geologic deposits will behave during an earthquake. Many of them are based on the behavior of similar deposits during earthquakes elsewhere, and others are based on laboratory tests of the physical properties of certain deposits. The unpredictability of magnitude, acceleration, direction, period of seismic energy, and the distance of an earthquake epicenter from Juneau makes an unqualified prediction of ground behavior impossible. The investigation is part of a 1972 earthquake hazards study in Alaska coastal communities by the U.S. Geological Survey. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/10955. Purpose: The geodatabase of Surficial geology of the Juneau urban area and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on earthquake and other geologic hazards, Open-File Report 72-255, is intended to facilitate multi-map merging of adjacent work by USGS and DGGS staff. Supplemental_Information: This geodatabase is organized according to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) standard published as Techniques and Methods 11-B10 by the USGS. The conversion was performed within the framework and mechanisms of the Alaska Geologic Mapping System's AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.

Data_Set_Credit: This map was digitized into GeMS, quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff (Wes Buchanan and Ally Steinleitner). Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under STATEMAP award number G21AC10706, 2022, 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. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attribute fields within each feature class are populated using the map symbology and corresponding applicable values from the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. When known, certainty in attribute interpretation is indicated in the relevant fields. Attribute accuracy varies throughout the map and is scale-dependent. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygon features were topologically validated according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema specifications. Completeness_Report: This work is complete. We encourage users to review the original USGS release for a print-formatted map and documentation of the original work. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This data release provides legacy geologic mapping converted to the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. The data compilers used map symbology to determine positional accuracy. The data pairs descriptive fields within each feature class with location confidence lookup tables to record the originating authors' degree of confidence in the location of features. When location accuracy values are unavailable, users must infer positional accuracy based on standard geologic mapping practices of the investigation era. Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Ekberg, P.G.
