INTRODUCTIONThis open-file report lists all Geological Survey, U.S. Bureau ofMines, and State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical surveysreports and maps on the geology, geophysics, and mineral and water resources of Alaska published or released to open files in 1978.They are listedby the quadrangles (scale 1:250,000) into which Alaska has been subdividedfor topographic mapping (p. 4).As these three agencies also issued re-ports and maps on other subjects, the following lists are selected in thesense that such documents are not included.Most of the listed reportsand maps bear a 1978 imprint date; a few with earlier imprint dates actually were not delivered until 1978.Reports that deal with regional tectonic hypotheses, regional syntheses, Alaska as a whole, or with areas that can n b t be identified witha specific quadrangle are listed under Alaska - General, as are statistical presentations, indexes, and the like.Reports and maps that dealwith offshore areas not within quadrangle boundaries are listed underOffshore Areas.The Alaska-General and Offshore Areas lists appearbefore the alphabetically arranged quadrangle listings.This index is intended to bring up to date the other indexes ofthis series, which are listed on p. 2 - 3 .

Geological time is vast, and Earth has changed tremendously during this time. Even though most geological processes are very, very slow, the vast amount of time that has passed has allowed for the formation of extraordinary geological features, as shown in Figure 19.1. We have numerous ways of measuring geological time.
