The original goal was to use the Dall City earthquake sequence of Feb-Mar '85 to investigate the crustal structure of north-central Alaska. The scope was later modified to include studies of some earthquakes just north of the Alaska Range, the Gold King earthquakes, and later still to include data gathered from chemical explosions detonated by USGS as part of their Trans- Alaska Crustal Transect (TACT) program. The work divided roughly ...
In July 1968 five temporary seismic stations were installed in central Alaska to augment the existing stations of the Seismology Laboratory of the University of Alaska. These stations, along with several stations of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, were utilized in a crustal study wherein the energy source was earthquakes. This method of study is suited to central Alaska because of its high seismicity and sparce road system. ...
