A remarkable transformation of the infrastructure of the State of Alaska is in progress.Major
Alaskan technological feats of the past decade have set the stage for meeting the engineering challenges
in some of the most rigorous geologic environments in North America.The interface between state-of-the-
art engineering practice and modern geologic principles is conceptually at the heart of the planning,
design,and execution of development projects that will occur during the remainder of this century.The
intimacy of this interface requires the utilization of an engineering geologic team that has both the
experience and up-to-date expertise to deal with targeted project needs.The Engineering Geology Section
of the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS)is committed to offering a broad
range of technical capabilities to government agencies within the State of Alaska.The purpose of this
brochure is to briefly introduce you to the section and the expertise and types of services we can
provide.
By Alaska State Statute (41.08.020)the Division of Geological and Ceophysical Surveys has been
established as the data collection agency within the Department of Natural Resources and,through eleven
sections and units,conducts investigations in the geological and related sciences.Strong cooperative
ties exist between sections so that specific project needs can draw upon a technical staff of over 75
professionals.Though the Engineering Geology Section is the newest of these sections,most of its
personnel have several years of experience in Alaska,as well as a diversity of training and background
outside of the state.Typically,where a specific project requires certain expertise outside of the
section,those individuals will be incorporated into the project from other sections,for example
computer processing,economic geology,or hydrology.This allows the project to be scoped and executed
by a small,efficient project team,backed up by the largest body of geological experts in the State of
Alaska.
The fundamental resource of the section is its carefully selected personnel,chosen for their
particular training and experience to meet the needs of specific sub-disciplines within a coherent
engineering geology program.The second half of this brochure is devoted to brief resumés of these
scientists,as well as five ADCCS key personnel from other sections who will facilitate further project
diversification where required.All of these staff members are permanent,full-time state employees
located at ADGGS offices in Anchorage,Eagle River,or Fairbanks,functioning through the leadership of
the State Ceologist's office in Anchorage.Administrative and computer support services are provided
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY SECTION
Alaska Division of Geological &Geophysical Surveys
to the section through the Anchorage office.
Although all of our staff have degrees in geology
or geophysics,and several have advanced degrees,
our internal emphasis is not on credentials but on
being able to field a talented team of scientists
that can quickly and accurately discern the needs
and objectives of a project,acquire very high
quality data by the most cost-effective methods,
evaluate and synthesize those data,and report the
results in a timely manner.Our projects for
other agencies consistently have been completed
below budget and on time.This reflects a team
that is genuinely concerned with scientifically
accurate information,regardless of whether it is
a sand and gravel resource evaluation or seismic
acceleration model,that is completed and in the
hands of the user on time,it is fair to say that
the section staff are pre-eminently concerned with
the technical excellence of their work,which
assures more comprehensive and reliable products
for the contracting agency.
It is important to note that because ADGCS is
a line agency charged with data acquisition for
state needs,projects that we will undertake will
be associated with public sector objectives,for
example,transportation corridors,construction
materials assessments,geotechnical studies for public
buildings,and geologic hazards evaluations.The
Engineering Geology Section currently is intensely
involved in earthquake research including seismic
monitoring networks,slope stability,fault mapping,
and strong motion instrumentation of structures,under
agreements with federal and other state agencies.
Geotechnical investigations for hydroelectric
facilities,state buildings,and bridges have recently
been completed by the section.Section staff are also
presently involved in engineering borehole drilling and
sampling programs,in situ testing of soils,laboratory
testing,sand and gravel mapping,bedrock quarry
evaluations,and pipeline corridor studies.Often the
section works closely with consultant firms and local
government in an advisory capacity.Where specific
technical capabilities are not available within the
division,for example,in dynamic testing of undisturb-
ed soil cores,the section personnel have sufficient
experience to select the best sub-contractors to
execute the work.It is anticipated that on future
major projects private-sector sub-contracts of specific
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY SECTION
Alaska Division of Geological &Geophysical Surveys
phases of work will be required,but such work will be carefully monitored by our staff on consultation
with your agency.In some instances,other state agencies have retained the management of projects but
have sought our aid in developing feasibility and work plans,screened response proposals to RFP's,and
monitored the work executed by contracted consultants.At nominal cost,this arrangement provides
technical input to the agency charged with the project responsibility to insure for the proper scope of
work in a time and cost-effective mode,
The Engineering Geology Section is supported by a substantial range of technical equipment
including:
Nimbus ES 1210 multi-channel signal-enhanced seismograph
Geometrics 835 proton magnetometer
Worden gravity meter
K &E Autoranger II1 EDM system
Zeiss T-2 theodolite
Bison magnetic susceptibility meter
Scintrix 4-channel gamma ray spectrometer
Kinemetrics seismograph and accelerometer systems
Complete air photograph mapping facility
Complete soil testing index properties lab
Complete field mapping equipment with logistic support including
boats,motors,ATV's,trucks
These capabilities are enhanced by in-house support
from other sections,including two Data General MV8000
prime computers,a complete state-of-the-art ground water
monitoring system,and the most sophisticated analytical
chemistry laboratory in the state.wiece.eeThe diverse capabilities of the Engineering Geology

enhance the data acquisition and synthesis at nominal
additional costs.Because each project has its own set of
unique circumstances,we like to work with the contracting
agency to innovate on the project to thereby assure
maximum production for the money available.Often the
technology available to us can allow time and cost saving
on a certain phase of work,in turn making way for
additional relevant data sets.Again,this reflects a
project team comprised of persons on the cutting edge of
their science who are attuned to Alaska conditions and
special needs.The Engineering Geology Section and the
Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys wish
to be of service to agencies within federal,state,and
local government and encourage you to give us careful
consideration.

Surveys are on-line to be of service in
state projects.We invite your agency to
consider our division to serve your
specific needs and encourage you to
contact the section chief of Engineering
Geology to see if we can be of
assistance.We will be forthright in
advising you if we are capable of the
scope of work you require,and if we can
meet the dollar and time constraints that
you face.Because we generally function
on a fiscal year budgeting scheme,it is
important to initiate planning
discussions as early as possible so that
staff and equipment are available on a
viable time line.We would recommend
that as you foresee projects coming that
might make use of our capabilities,that
you meet with our staff to scope the end
products you require,the time and budget
lines to reach those objectives,and
perhaps we can together identify ways to
