Publication_Date: 2024 Title: Surficial-geologic map of the Kivalina area, northwest Alaska Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: geodatabase Series_Information: Series_Name: Preliminary Interpretive Report Issue_Identification: PIR 2024-8 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Fairbanks, Alaska, United States Publisher: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Other_Citation_Details: 5 p., 1 sheet, scale 1:50,000 Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.14509/31300 Description: Abstract: Surficial-geologic map of the Kivalina area, northwest Alaska, Preliminary Interpretive Report 2024-8, shows the distribution of unconsolidated deposits and bedrock exposed at the surface in portions of the southern Noatak D-6, southwestern Noatak D-5, and northwestern Noatak C-5 quadrangles near Kivalina, Alaska. We mapped units by interpreting: (1) aerial photographs taken in 1952, 1978, 1980, and 2003; (2) Worldview satellite data collected in 2008 and 2009; and (3) Spot5 satellite imagery collected in 2010 and 2020. We verified mapping from 2010 field investigations by Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) staff. Map unit descriptions are modified from Mayfield and others (1987) and use data collected during DGGS fieldwork. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31300. Purpose: The Kivalina geplogic mapping project supports informed community planning, mitigation, and emergency response in and around this high-risk community and its associated critical infrastructure.

A thorough review by De Anne Stevens helped us to improve the map. This work was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, award numbers G10AC00321, 2010, and G22AC00606, 2022, and State of Alaska Capital Improvement Project funds. 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 publication is a DGGS Preliminary Interpretive Report (PIR). A PIR provides timely release of maps and reports with a preliminary interpretation of geology or analytical data. Several scientists familiar with the geology of map area reviewed this product for general readability and logical consistency, but it has not undergone technical peer review. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Data fields within each feature class and the accompanying orientation and location confidence lookup tables record the authors' degree of confidence in the location of applicable features.
