Book excerpt: "The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys completed surficial-geologic mapping, lidar data evaluations, and paleoseismic trenching investigations along the Minto Flats seismic zone (Minto fault), the Northern Foothills thrust and associated backthrust faults, and the Stampede–Little Panguingue Creek, Healy Creek, Healy, Park Road, Denali, and Castle Mountain faults. Additionally, aerial reconnaissance and lidar assessment were completed along the Tozitna, Kaltag Extension, and Victoria Creek faults. The purpose of these investigations was to summarize the relative tectonic activity for each structure of concern, evaluate fault rupture parameters, and delineate the locations of possible fault crossings of the proposed pipeline route"-- Summary and conclusions.
