Additionally, the collection holds more than 252,000 linear feet of diamond-drilled hard-rock mineral core, representing more than 1,800 exploratory boreholes; 76,000 linear feet of oil and gas core and rock samples from more than 1,650 exploratory or production wells; samples for geotechnical boreholes; and numerous surface rock and sediment samples. The collection also includes extensive geochemical data and processed material derived from this rock. This publication represents the GMC inventory in accessible, intuitive digital formats for use by the general public. A geologist's ability to perform modern analyses on these unique samples is paramount for responsible development of the State's vast resources. It is critical that access to and protection of this valuable resource be improved and updated. GMC staff has been acquiring additional inventory details and performing quality control on the information stored in the ever-growing GMC database. Although the main responsibility of the GMC is to preserve and ensure the safety of the physical material stored at the facility, it is equally important to make the material and derived data accessible to the public. This publication was supported by the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys General Fund and in part by the Alaska Energy Inventory State Capital Improvement Projects funding. The authors gratefully acknowledge the individuals, companies, and agencies who have contributed to the priceless materials inventory at the Alaska GMC. Special thanks goes to John Reeder, Alaska GMC Curator (1987-2009), for his dedication and building the foundation of one of the most extensive geologic collections in Alaska. underDevelopment State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys GMC Curator (907) 696-0079 (907) 696-0078 PO BOX 772805 Eagle River AK 99577 ken.papp@alaska.gov You may view the GMC page on the DGGS web site at http://dggs.alaska.gov/gmc for the latest information on available inventory data.

Attribute information for the following files is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. GMC oil and gas and "hard-rock" mineral inventory summaries are also included as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Files include: >Alaska-GMC-Inventory (KML) >Alaska-GMC-Oil-Gas-Summary (PDF) >Alaska-GMC-Minerals-Summary (PDF) true Entity and Attribute Information Entity and Attribute Overview: The GMC materials inventory KML file contains four main folders: Alaska Core Inventory, Geologic Materials Center Information, the Alaska Inventory Legend, and Geologic Overlays for Alaska. The list of detailed descriptions below will describe the contents of first three folders listed above. The latter folder contains KML layers related to the Map of Alaska's coal resources (Merritt and Hawley, 1986), the Alaska Resource Data File (U.S. Geological Survey, 2008), and the Historical Mining Regions and Districts of Alaska (Sturmann and Clement, 1993) and are documented elsewhere (see the "Online_Linkage" entries in the "Lineage" section). The GMC inventory is updated continuously and, as a result, the main GMC inventory KML file utilizes network links to call and load the individual well and prospect layers over the Internet. This methodology allows the user to always have the most current GMC inventory information. As a result, an Internet connection is required to view each layer and load the inventory data.

The location of some prospects were assigned by information available in Orth, 1971 and may have a coordinate that represents the center of many related boreholes (i.e. Amchitka Island). Mineral prospects of unknown location have been assigned a surface coordinate east of the Alaska GMC on the Earth (61.3493 N, -149.5398 W). Additional research is required to correctly identify these prospects and their true locations. Location accuracy information for Google Earth can be found at http://earth.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=22373&topic=23750. The Alaska Geologic Materials Center is constantly acquiring additional inventory details and performing quality control on the information for hundreds of thousands of samples -- a process that will take many years to complete. As a result, the GMC strives to find a balance between the public release of samples with more accurate data versus suppressing sample information with partial and/or inaccurate data. The GMC is biased towards greater public access to our store of geologic wealth. Consequently, users of the facility must understand that inventory data may be inadequate or inappropriate for making certain decisions. Always contact the GMC staff to confirm that our released sample inventory will meet your research requirements. GMC staff is also willing, at this contact, to determine if other inventory options might also meet your current needs. Please contact us if you would like to contribute any documented corrections or additions to the GMC inventory data. Contributing maps, drill records, or any other documentation is especially welcome.

Other data are line, point, or annotation data and do not require topologic relationships. This lineage was generated by the FGDC CSDGM to 19139 transformation Version 1.0 - Process Summary: Well and prospect locations related to the GMC inventory were converted to KML via a custom-built Microsoft Access script. All attribute information originates from GMC in-house inventory data, with the exception of the optional layers which can be enabled in the KML file. The GMC inventory is updated continuously and, as a result, the main GMC inventory KML file utilizes network links to call and load the individual well and prospect layers over the Internet. This methodology allows the user to always have the most current GMC inventory information. New well header information from the AOGCC is added into the GMC database on a regular basis, although the GMC does not necessarily have material inventory for all of the wells listed by the AOGCC. Prospect locations have been matched up with information provided in the ARDF for known prospects and boreholes. The GMC has several prospects and boreholes of unknown origin and additional research and user input is required to ascertain their location and drilling history. The location of some prospects were assigned by information available in Orth, 1971 and may have a coordinate that represents the center of many related boreholes (i.e. Amchitka Island). Mineral prospects of unknown location have been assigned a surface coordinate east of the Alaska GMC on the Earth (61.3493 N, -149.5398 W). Final changes to any HTML markup within the KML file was done in a text editor. 2010-04-09T00:00:00 Version 1.0 - Programming Guide: This online explanation briefly outlines and shows examples of how the Alaska Geologic Materials Center (GMC) uses Keyhole Markup Language (KML) programming to publish parts of our geologic materials inventory. http://dggs.alaska.gov/gmc_inventory/google_earth/metadata/gmc-inventory-code-summary.html 2010-04-09T00:00:00 Version 1.0 - Metadata were written by Kenneth R. Papp to FGDC Standards using a text editor. 2010-04-09T00:00:00 Version 1.1 - Added Alaska quadrangle names and boundaries layer to the Alaska Geologic Overlays folder in the KML file. 2010-04-26T00:00:00 Version 1.2 - We have experienced a potential Google Earth bug that crashes the program during the initial zooming sequence over Alaska http://earth.google.com/support/bin/search.py?ctx=en:searchbox&forum=1&query=crash+zoom. As a result, we have changed the initial zoom altitude to a higher value as a work-around for this bug.

In-kind data contributions by the AOGCC (Steve Davies, pers. comm.) and USGS (David Houseknecht, pers. comm.) were compiled by GMC staff and entered into the database. Users can now view all of the oil and gas well material that is associated with a particular geologic formation and therefor more easily identify the available materials that contain potential oil and gas-bearing rock layers. Formation top picks related to the GMC's material inventory are also available in PDF and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet formats on the GMC Inventory web page http://dggs.alaska.gov/gmcinventory. 2010-10-29T00:00:00 Version 1.4 - The Google Earth bug that crashes the program during the initial zooming sequence over Alaska http://earth.google.com/support/bin/search.py?ctx=en:searchbox&forum=1&query=crash+zoom has been fixed in Google Earth version 6. This latest 1.4 release (1) redefined initial zoom parameters to show oil and gas well locations at first launch, (2) clarified instructions and recommendations shown in the initial help pop-up window, and (3) improved and clarified file/folder structure in the Google Earth "Places" sidebar. 2011-02-17T00:00:00 Version 1.45 - This latest release (1) adds links to Alaska GMC news and facility updates to the initial pop-up balloon, (2) updates file links to comply with the new DGGS website rollout, and (3) includes new inventory added to the collection since February 2011. 2011-10-31T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Provides official state oil and gas well header information for Alaska.Source Type: online AOGCC Well Header File 2013-01-01 publication Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Anchorage AK publisher AOGCC originator http://doa.alaska.gov/ogc/publicdb.html MICROSOFT ACCESS DATABASE NA NA AOGCC_DataExtract.zip, ~19.5Mb 2013-01-01 Source Contribution: Provides official state oil and gas well header information for Alaska.Source Type: digital file AOGCC Formation Top Picks 2010-01-01 publication Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Anchorage AK publisher AOGCC originator None MICROSOFT EXCEL SPREADSHEET NA NA 100722_LIST_Formation_Tops_and_Markers_NonConfidential.zip, ~650Kb 2010-01-01 Source Contribution: Provides users with measured depths to geologic formations in Alaska.
