Bering Glacier: Interdisciplinary Studies of Earth’s Largest
Temperate Surging Glacier

Edited by Robert A. Shuchman and Edward G. Josberger
This compilation provides a more complete understanding of how the

approximately 5,000 km2 Bering Glacier system plays a major role in
the greater southeastern coastal region of Alaska and through its wastage,
its impact on the circulation of the northeast Pacific Ocean and on the
global sea level.

Tectonic Growth of a Collisional Continental Margin:
Crustal Evolution of Southern Alaska

Edited by Kenneth D. Ridgway, Jeffrey M. Trop, Jonathan M.G. Glen, and
J. Michael O’Neill

Twenty-four chapters integrate new geophysical and geologic data,
including many field-based studies, to better link the sedimentary, structural,
geochemical, and magmatic processes that are important for understanding
the development of collisional continental margins.

Tectonic Evolution of the Bering Shelf–Chukchi Sea–Arctic
Margin and Adjacent Landmasses

Edited by Elizabeth L. Miller, Arthur Grantz, and Simon L. Klemperer
This volume presents seismic, paleomagnetic, structural, stratigraphic,

paleontologic, geochronologic, and geochemical data from this region,
and concludes with a plate-tectonic reconstruction of the evolution of the
Arctic region.

The Geology of Alaska

Edited by George Plafker and Henry C. Berg
Twenty chapters synthesize data on metamorphic and igneous rocks; major

onshore and offshore sedimentary basins; the paleomagnetics
evidence for latitudinal displacements and rotations, glacial history and
periglacial phenomena; and the occurrence, evolution, and potential
of Alaska’s vast resources of petroleum, coal, and metallic minerals.
