Tectonic Evolution of the Chugach-Prince William Terrane: U/Pb Detrital Zircon Age and Provenance of Cover Strata to the Paleocene Resurrection Peninsula Ophiolite in Seward, Alaska (thesis)
The southern margin of Alaska is defined by a late Mesozoic to Cenozoic accretionary complex that comprises the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Chugach-Prince William (CPW) terrane. The Contact Fault serves as the current ...
