The State of Alaska funded this work as part of the ASTAR Capital Improvement Project. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management provided additional funding and support through a National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Resource Inventory and Database Development Grant (L18AC00019-03). DGGS ASTAR work supports a collaborative effort between the North Slope Borough and the Department of Natural Resources to strengthen community infrastructure and facilitate access to arctic resources while enhancing the quality of life and economic opportunities for North Slope communities. It also provides valuable information for land-use management and planning decisions. We appreciate the collaboration and support of AKDOT&PF. In addition, the Alaska Energy Services Corporation (ASRC), North Slope Borough, Olgoonik Corporation, and City and Native Village of Wainwright provided much-appreciated logistical support and guidance during field preparation and data collection efforts which ensured a successful field season. We would also like to importantly thank Anthony T. Gallagher (DGGS), Hans A. Hoffman (ASRC), and Timothy G. Tannenbaum (AKDOT&PF) for crucial guidance before and during the summer season identifying areas of interest, conducting fieldwork, and collecting essential data, as well as Rainer J. Newberry for assisting with rock identification and geochemical analysis in the lab, and David A. Harvey for helping with revisions to the text.
This study was implemented as part of the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resource (ASTAR) project, which aims to evaluate sand and gravel resources along a corridor approximately between Nuiqsut, Atqasuk and Barrow, AK. The project will generate geologic maps and a database with information about location of geologic observations as well as the quality and types of geologic materials
