The Geologic Map Index of Alaska (Map Index) is an online, interactive web mapping application that provides access to an actively growing geographic index of geology-related maps of Alaska and adjacent areas. This online research tool provides the locations and outlines of most DGGS and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) geologic and geophysical maps of Alaska in a single, interactive web map. It allows searches of the map database by geographic area of interest, keywords, themes, publishing agency, dates, and other criteria. The search results provide links to DGGS's comprehensive, multi-agency publications database, where users may view and download publications for free. No other geographic index of Alaska geologic...

Coastlines are dynamic features that change shape and position on a range of timescales. As a result of this variability, many coastal communities in Alaska must carefully consider patterns of coastal erosion and/or accretion to appropriately plan for the future. Until now, a lack of available information and resources related to shoreline positional data has created challenges in assessing and planning for coastal hazards such as erosion. To address this identified data need, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has created the Alaska Shoreline Change Tool, an interactive map that displays historical and projected shoreline positions. This new tool will improve hazard assessments and aid...

Elevation profiles are a type of temporal data that can be used to understand coastal environments, document change and assess vulnerability. The value of these shore-normal measurements increases when sites are revisited seasonally and/or interannually due to the dynamic range of coastal landforms. These static measurements of the shoreface have been collected by a number of stakeholders in Alaska since the 1960s, but, have not historically been published or readily accessible. In cooperation with the Alaska Ocean Observing System, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has designed a universal repository to house these coastal measurements. This new database has an interactive map interface...

Merged grids of residual magnetic intensity, digital terrain model, and apparent resistivity compiled from the Tok, Ladue, Slate Creek - Slana River, Alaska Highway Corridor, and Fortymile geophysical surveys.

This interactive map was designed to view known public-domain elevation datasets (LiDAR and InSAR) in Alaska. The map offers zoom and scroll options, and multiple base map layers. We provide an easy point and click interface to show data originators and, when available, a link to download the digital data. Users are also able to bookmark and share areas of interest. DGGS is actively developing a comprehensive repository of Alaska's public-domain elevation data. The application will be periodically updated to incorporate our complete collection.

The Geologic Photos of Alaska database and online application contains photographs taken during and in support of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) projects. These photographs primarily document field sites and geomorphology statewide, usually in remote locations that are often impossible or prohibitively expensive to revisit. The database (http://maps.dggs.alaska.gov/photodb/) includes a variety of images such as field photos, photos of samples, and photomicrographs (photograph of a microscopic object) taken with the aid of a microscope.
