About AVO

Station: UT114

Station ID: UT114 [1] [2] [3]
Volcano:
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 66.53
NAD83 longitude: -152.08
Default location: No
Location description: Exposure 11 of Westgate et al. (1983), along the Koyokuk River, northern Alaska near the Brooks Range. Lies within the Alatna River lobe of the Kobuk-age glacier complex (See Fig. 6 in Westgate et al. 1983). The sedimentary sequence is illustrated in Figure 7 (of Westgate et al. 1983). It is likely that nearly continuous deposition of aeolian, lacustrine, and perhaps fluvial silt took place in this area during the Itkillik and Walker Lake ice advances.
