The fourth day of the 3P Arctic Conference & Exhibition is October 2. Session chairs Brian Horn and Bent Kjølhamar will welcome attendees and introduce session nine speakers, who will be speaking on Mapping the Arctic - New Geological and Geophysical Maps and Datasets. Thomas Moore, USGS, will be the fifth speaker to take the platform on Friday.
The Colville Basin on Alaska’s North Slope, foreland basin to the east-west trending Brooks Range fold-and-thrust belt, holds a sedimentary record of tectonics in northern Alaska dating back over 140 m.y. to the beginning of the Cretaceous. Using detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology, Thomas Moore (USGS) and Paul O’Sullivan (GeoSep Services) track the evolution of the sources to the basin. These results provide a first-order understanding of the tectonics, petrofacies, and a guide to reservoir quality sandstones in the Colville basin.
