Other TSRG News Other News Papers are being solicited for the next edition of Short Notes on Alaskan Geology 1997. It is designed for topical studies of limited scope on any aspect of earth sciences that relate to Alaska.
Articles normally have a maximum finished length of ten pages, including figures and tables.
Longer articles will be considered. During August, Wes Wallace attended the Penrose Conference on Fault-Related Folds in Banff, Alberta to present results of work by Tom Homza and himself on the geometry and kinematics of detachment folds in the northeastern Brooks Range. This meeting provided researchers studying the relationships between folds and faults the opportunity to share their results with other researchers from around the world. Wes will work with Paul O'Sullivan, who has done extensive fission-track dating in the northeastern and central Brooks Range. The objective is to use fission-track results to constrain depth of burial and timing of unroofing for balanced reconstructions of the structural evolution of transects along the Canning River and the pipeline haul road.
