We use offshore multichannel seismic reflection data and oil-well stratigraphy to evaluate whether local geologic structures are compatible with boundaries of either tectonic block and with the relative motion expected across the block boundaries. Our main conclusion is that a block boundary does not extend southwestward the entire length of Shelikof Strait, as was proposed for one of the blocks. Furthermore, below southern Cook Inlet, no high-strain extensional structures that might be related to either proposed boundary are evident. Small normal faults below southern Cook Inlet could have been caused by block rotation, but they represent only minor strain. One way to explain the lack of larger structures is that the rotation began recently so that indicative boundary structures have not yet formed. Alternatively, deformation associated with the block boundaries could be distributed through onshore areas.", "description": "9 p.", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "American Geophysical Union" }, "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Fisher, Michael A. mfisher@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Michael A.", "familyName": "Fisher", "email": "mfisher@usgs.gov" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sliter, Ray W. rsliter@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Ray W.", "familyName": "Sliter", "email": "rsliter@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-0337-3454", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0337-3454" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/pacific-coastal-and-marine-science-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wong, Florence L. fwong@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Florence L.", "familyName": "Wong", "email": "fwong@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-3918-5896", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3918-5896" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/pacific-coastal-and-marine-science-center" } ] } ], "editor": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Freymueller, Jeffery T.", "givenName": "Jeffery T.", "familyName": "Freymueller", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-0614-0306", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0614-0306" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Michigan State University" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Haeussler, Peter J. pheuslr@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Peter J.", "familyName": "Haeussler", "email": "pheuslr@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-1503-6247", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1503-6247" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Alaska Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/alaska-science-center" }, { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Alaska Science Center Geology Minerals", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/alaska-science-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wesson, Robert L. rwesson@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Robert L.", "familyName": "Wesson", "email": "rwesson@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-2702-0012", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2702-0012" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Geologic Hazards Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geologic-hazards-science-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ekstrom, Goran", "givenName": "Goran", "familyName": "Ekstrom", "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University Earth Institute" } ] } ], "funder": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Alaska Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/alaska-science-center" }, { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Geologic Hazards Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geologic-hazards-science-center" }, { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/pacific-coastal-and-marine-science-center" } ], "spatialCoverage": [ { "@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/4074035" }, { "@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Alaska" }, { "@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Shelikof Strait", "url": "https://geonames.org/5873935" }, { "@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "southern Cook Inlet" }, { "@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Wrangell Block" }, { "@type": "Place", "geo": [ { "@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": { "coordinates": [ [ [ -156, 60 ], [ -156, 57 ], [ -152, 57 ], [ -152, 60 ], [ -156, 60 ] ] ], "type": "Polygon" } } ] } } }, { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 58.5, "longitude": -154.0 } ] } ] }
