The work is part of a Cook Inlet basin-wide effort to reconstruct depositional systems for use as a predictive tool in oil and gas exploration.The resulting framework will provide the context for evaluating sand body geometries. The data are available in tabular format as comma delimited ASCII files organized into one entity as described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section.

No topologic relationships are present in this data set. Sample collection locations were determined in the field using handheld GPS devices, the error of which is probably ~4 meters.When sample coordinates are plotted on a topographic base map, the samples collected accurately reflect the actual location of sample collection. The horizontal position accuracy on point data is approximately 4 meters based on the error range in the handheld GPS units used to collect spatial information. Samples were collected in the field (2006-2007) and their coordinates were documented using a handheld GPS device and recorded in tabular form. 2009 Point 0.0001 0.0001 Decimal degrees North American Datum of 1927 Clarke 1866 6378137 298.25722210088 Table A1 Table A1.csv Table showing locations of measured sections Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys No. sequential numbers listing the number of measured sections Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 1 23 n/a Section Name Name of measured section assigned by geologist Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Names are assigned by the geologist to measured sections and are unrepresentable Location Name geographic location of measured section Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Coal Cove, Port Graham measured section is located in Coal Cove, Port Graham Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Point Pogibshi, Kachemak Bay measured section is located in Point Pogibshi, Kachemak Bay Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Fritz Creek, Kachemak Bay measured section is located in Fritz Creek, Kachemak Bay Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Bluff Point measured section is located in Bluff Point Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Diamond Gulch measured section is located in Diamond Gulch Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Falls Creek, Kachemak Bay measured section is located at Falls Creek, Kachemak Bay Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Fox River, Kenai NWR measured section is located at Fox River, Kenai Wildlife Refuge Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Deep Creek, southern Kenai Peninsula measured section is located at Deep Creek, southern Kenai Peninsula Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Clam Gulch, Cook Inlet measured section is located at Clam Gulch, Cook Inlet Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Formation geologic formation in which measured section was located Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Tyonek Tyonek formation, Tertiary Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Beluga Beluga Formation, Tertiary Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Beluga-Sterling Beluga Formation and Sterling Formation, Tertiary Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Sterling Sterling Formation, Tertiary Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Sterling? questionably Sterling Formation, Tertiary Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Latitude position with respect to the equator Alaska Division of Geological Surveys 59.3942 60.24970 decimal degrees 0.0001 Longitude position with respect to prime meridian Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 150.79642 151.8925 decimal degrees 0.0001 20091009 Geologist, Energy Section mailing and physical
