This study was intended to be a companion to the Elmendorf Air Force Base Homestead Study, though the scope and focus are somewhat different due to the later date at which the majority of homestead applications were filed in this area. Fort Richardson probably received less initial homestead settlement because it was further away from Anchorage. The intent of this study is to document the history of homesteading in the area and establish a historic context of the time period. This is necessary...

This document details the history of relative seas level changes and earthquake deformation cycles in Cook Inlet, Alaska. Multiple peat-silt couplets preserved in tidal marsh sediment sequences suggest that numerous great plate boundary earthquakes caused the coast around Cook Inlet, Alaska, to subside over the past 3500 years. Field and laboratory analyses of the two youngest couplets record the well-documented earthquake of AD 1964 and the penultimate one, approximately 850 call yr BP. Diatom...
