Facies associations, sand body geometry, and depositional systems in Late Oligocene-Pliocene strata, southern Kenai Peninsula, Cook Inlet, Alaska: Report on progress during the 2006-07 field season

This preliminary report is a summary of progress made during the 2006-07 field seasons reconstructing depositional systems in Tertiary strata exposed in the Homer-Kachemak Bay area.The study area addressed in this report extends from Clam Gulch in the north to Coal Cove in the south.Tertiary strata in this area are only mildly deformed and provide a relatively clear view of depositional systems and sand body geometries along the eastern basin edge and their change from basin edge to more basin axial positions.
