Please contact us using the e-mail address provided above when possible.The State of Alaska funded this work as part of the ASTAR Capital Improvement Project. The Bureau of Land Management provided additional funding and support through a National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska Resource Inventory and Database Development Grant (L18AC00019-03). The 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 Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF) support. In addition, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC), North Slope Borough, Olooginik 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 thank Anthony Gallagher (DGGS), Hans Hoffman (ASRC), and Tim Tannenbaum (AKDOT&PF) for fieldwork assistance, data collection, and help in determining potential field station sites.Buzard, R.M.Heiner, DanielOverbeck, J.R.Glenn, R.J.T.2021Photogrammetry-derived orthoimagery and elevation for Wainwright, Alaska, collected August 3, 2021Raw Data FileRDF 2021-18Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys4 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30791Gavel, M.M.Hubbard, T.D.2021Digital data addendum: Analytical data and field observations from surficial geology and morphology of the Alaskan central Arctic Coastal Plain, 1981-1987Report of InvestigationRI 93-1AFairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys6 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30670Germann, J.T.Daanen, R.P.2022Profile and discharge data for five waterways in the Utqiagvik-Atqasuk-Wainwright region, Alaska, collected August 2022Raw Data FileRDF 2022-15Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys5 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30915Haralson, M.D.Hubbard, T.D.Montayne, Simone20232021 Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) project field geotechnical data and sample descriptions: Wainwright, Atqasuk, and Utqiagvik, North Slope, AlaskaRaw Data FileRDF 2023-5Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys4 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30962Herbst, A.M.Daanen, R.P.2022Lidar-derived elevation data for the Utqiagvik-Atqasuk region, Alaska, collected August 2019Raw Data FileRDF 2022-10Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys8 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30870Data values were directly measured using the methology described in the accompanying report.Not applicableThis data release is complete.Data were collected using GPS-enabled tablets running the ESRI ArcGIS Collector app, which have a reported error of approximately 10 m. Latitude and longitude are reported in the WGS84 datum.Sample collection - Field station location data and sediment samples were collected between July 6 and July 21, 2021, using GPS-enabled tablets running the ESRI ArcGIS Collector app, with a reported error of approximately 10 m. Latitude and longitude are reported in the WGS84 datum. Our field data includes field location information and material descriptions. Where appropriate, we followed conventions in the Alaska Geotechnical Field Manual. Attribute information includes the following descriptions for field station sites: station identification value, geographic location, geologic description, weather sky conditions, temperature (Celsius), vegetation, ice probe refusal depth, and data collection sampling method. Surface materials and interval descriptions (if appropriate) are assigned Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) group symbol, interval number, and depth (cm). Interval descriptions include the following attributes: color based on six standard Munsell colors (light brown, yellowish-orange, greenish-gray, olive-gray, light gray, and dark gray, USCS soil type, ice content, maximum grain (clast) size, presence/absence of gravel clasts (e.g., clasts greater than 2mm), clast composition or lithology, coarse-grained particle angularity, and the presence or absence of organics.2021Auger sites - Data from drilled test holes were collected by field geologists using a Tanaka power-auger to drill on favorable terrain such as a flat, dry surface, often on a raised tundra polygon. We used the average of three ice probe refusals (cm) to determine the depth of ice, frozen soils, bedrock, or clay-rich materials that limited auger performance. Two geologists operated the Tanaka power-auger while one geologist described sediment churned from the auger flight and carried to the surface. Each auger flight is approximately 132 cm long and 7 cm in diameter. During drilling, geologists looked for any visible changes in sediment character. Geologists recorded observations using tablets running the ESRI Arc Collector app, and sediment samples were retrieved if appropriate. Additionally, we took photos before and after drilling the test hole and added these photos to the DGGS photo database. After data collection, we refilled each hole with the removed sediment and replaced the organic mat when possible.2021Outcrops - We cleaned surfaces at soil profiles exposed along bluff, river, and lake margins, allowing us to describe a profile on a freshly exposed vertical surface. When appropriate, we described sedimentary and pedogenic features using U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service terminology. We collected serial bulk and oriented samples from documented soil horizons for laboratory geotechnical analyses. Additionally, we took photos before and after cleaning surfaces and added them to the DGGS photo database. After data collection, we replaced sediment to restore the outcrop as best we could.2021Test pits - At sites unsuitable for drilling auger test holes or collecting profile descriptions, we dug a test pit to collect subsurface data. We used a hand shovel to expose subsurface sediment and dig test pits to depths of approximately 30 cm. We used trowels to clean freshly exposed surfaces to describe stratigraphy and collect samples. Additionally, we took before and after photos, which we added to the DGGS photo database. After data collection, we replaced the sediment.2021Surface observations - When appropriate, we collected data and made observations about the surface material. The surface was generally left undisturbed. However, we sometimes collected representative rock samples, using a hand trowel when necessary. In addition, we often took geo-located photos to document site materials and added these to the DGGS photo database.2021point.0000001.0000001decimal degreesWGS84WGS 846378137298.257223563rdf2023-4-astar-field-station-intervals.csv, rdf2023-4-astar-field-station-intervals-data-dictionary.csvfield station locations and interval descriptionsDGGSfield-station-intervalsAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical SurveysMetadata Managermailing and physical
