This data release contains the analytical results and the evaluated source data files of a geospatial analysis for identifying areas in Alaska that may have potential for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn (lead-zinc) deposits. The spatial analysis is based on queries of statewide source datasets Alaska Geochemical Database (AGDB3), Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF), and Alaska Geologic Map (SIM3340) within areas defined by 12-digit HUCs (subwatersheds) from the National Watershed Boundary dataset. The packages of files available for download are: 1. The results in geodatabase format are in SedPbZn_Results_gdb.zip. The analytical results for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits are in a polygon feature class which contains the points...

Compressed file SedPbZn_Results_gdb.zip contains the analytical results of a geospatial analysis for identifying areas in Alaska that may have potential for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn (lead-zinc) deposits. The spatial analysis is based on queries of statewide source datasets Alaska Geochemical Database (AGDB3), Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF), and Alaska Geologic Map (SIM3340) within areas defined by 12-digit HUCs (subwatersheds) from the National Watershed Boundary dataset. An ArcMap mxd file, layer file, and geodatabase with cartographic layers is provided for users to view the analytical results in ArcMap. Additional files include FGDC metadata, a pdf showing the query parameters for the analysis, and a README file....

Compressed file sedPbZn_SourceData_gdb.zip contains the GIS datasets and Python scripts used to calculate the estimated potential and certainty that sediment-hosted Pb-Zn (lead-zinc) deposits might be present in an area in Alaska. The statewide datasets include: Alaska Geochemical Database (AGDB3), Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF), lithology layers created from Alaska Geologic Map (SIM3340), and 12-digit HUCs, subwatersheds from the National Watershed Boundary dataset. FGDC metadata for all datasets are included. In addition, files are included for the user to modify the parameters of the analysis. These include two Python scripts, 1) used to score ARDF sites for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn potential, and 2) to evaluate...

This data set represents part of a systematic effort to release geologic map data for the United States in a uniform manner. Geologic data in this series has been compiled from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps to field mapping. Preliminary Geologic Map of Southcentral to Southeast AK - ranging from the Cook Inlet region, located at the northern part of the Gulf of Alaska to Prince Rupert and Dixon Entrance quadrangles on the south. This data set is a portion of a statewide geology database, which is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Surveys and Analysis (S) project, whose goal is to compile geologic geochemical, geophysical,...

Compressed file sedPbZn_Appendices.zip contains the appendix files 2, 3, and 4 associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) publication Open-File Report 2020-1147. Appendix 2 provides the scoring criteria of the Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF), listing keywords for different ARDF fields and the weighting factor for each word. Appendix 3 lists the ARDF sites with the resulting scores of the keyword searches. Appendix 4 charts out the queries used on the Geologic Map of Alaska to create different lithology datasets. The appendices are each provided as XLSX and CSV files. Also included is a CSV with the results of the scoring analysis showing for each subwatershed (HUC12) the score for each source data layer, total...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
