The central Seward Peninsula was surveyed for geological, geophysical and geochemical reconnaissance during a 30 day period in the summer of 1980. The survey investigated the geothermal energy resource potential of this region of Alaska. A continental rift system model explains many of the Late Tertiary to Quaternary topographic, structural, volcanic and geothermal features of the region. Geologic evidence for the model includes normal faults, extensive fields of young alkalic basalts, alignment of volcanic vents, graben valleys and other features consistent with a rift system active from late Miocene time to the present. Gravity, helium and mercury soil concentrations were measured along the traverses. Seismic, resistivity, and VLF studies are presented.
