Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.14509/30670 Description: Abstract: Report of Investigation 93-1A, Digital data addendum: Analytical data and field observations from surficial geology and morphology of the Alaskan central Arctic Coastal Plain, 1981-1987, presents digitized station and sample locations and identifiers, and analytical data tables for grain size, amino acid, thermoluminescence, carbon-14, palynology, microfossil, and wood identification from 1980-1987 surficial geologic field investigations along Alaska's North Slope. This data release also provides the project's scanned field notes, measured section diagrams, and laboratory observations. The study area encompassed twenty-five 1:63,360-scale quadrangles between the Colville and Hulahula rivers. The geologic mapping, analytical data, interpretations, and measured sections resulting from these investigations were published in 1993 (Rawlinson, 1993). All files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30670. Purpose: In 2018, DGGS joined the Department of Natural Resources and the North Slope Borough Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) project. DGGS initiated significant work to use historic and newly acquired geologic and geospatial data to evaluate sand and gravel resources across the North Slope. To support this research, we scanned the 1980-1987 project field notes and reformatted published source data into digital files optimized for visualization and data analysis using ArcGIS software.

We appreciate the hours of work conducted by our intern, Alex Terry, sorting and scanning the original field documents. The collective 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. Concurrent work to identify and catalog corresponding geologic materials samples was funded by the USGS National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) awards G15AP00147 and G17AP00063. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Analytical data and field station locations were auto-read from the appendices using optical character recognition converted into tabular data files. When possible, we used the lab correspondence, field notebooks, and other loose papers associated with Rawlinson's 1993 publication to augment or clarify the published summary data and to verify each sample's field station and sample numbering. For the most part, we were able to correlate field station numbers, sample numbers, map numbers, and reported depth to visualize and organize the data using a relational database hierarchy. However, achieving full referential integrity throughout the entire dataset would require discarding non-compliant data or assumptions unsupported by the field notes or published documentation. Due to these limitations, we decided to eliminate cross-table data dependencies and provide root sample metadata in each table. Logical_Consistency_Report: Not applicable Completeness_Report: This publication is a digital data addendum to allow for visualization and data analysis using ArcGIS or other software. Users must consult the originating DGGS Report of Investigations (Rawlinson, 1993) for geologic context and supporting documentation. This data release is complete. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Field station locations were auto-read from the appendices using optical character recognition converted into tabular data files. We converted field station locations (Rawlinson, 1993, app. C) from degree-minute-second to decimal-degree notation. We then quality controlled the exported field station locations using ArcGIS to visually compare them to corresponding plotted locality in scanned and georeferenced geologic maps. Offsets between the plotted and calculated points were generally in the range of 50-200 meters. In cases of larger offsets, we provide coordinates digitized from the scanned maps.
