T Phase

Abstract A large T-phase signal was received at Pt. Sur, California, from the Alaskan earthquake of March 28, 1964. Additional T phases were received from 90 per cent of the 80 aftershocks studied in the Kodiak Island area. The largest T phases were received from hypocenters beneath the upper portion of the continental shelf.

Sexual Composition

Findings of this study indicated that scallops spawn in the summer, primarily during early June, and also through mid-July. Spawning is complete, and only one annual spawning occurs. Sexual composition of mature scallops appeared as a 50:50 ratio. Most scallops were mature when three or more concentric rings (annual rings) were present on the upper valve and all after four or more were present. Scallops off Yakutat grow slower and are smaller at maturity than scallops off Kodiak Island. Growth and size differences did not seem directly related to time of maturity.

Felt Area

abstract The magnitude 7.2 St. Elias earthquake of February 28, 1979 was felt over an area of about 500,000 km2 of Alaska, United States, and Canada. The maximum intensity was VII at Icy Bay Lumber Camp. No major damage resulted as the epicenter was in an unpopulated area of Alaska. Isoseismal maps are also presented for the earthquakes of September 4, 1899, September 10, 1899, 21 hr, October 9, 1900, and July 10, 1958; magnitudes 8.3, 8.6, 8.3, and 7.9, respectively. The felt areas of the 1899 and 1958 earthquakes were not significantly larger than the St. Elias felt area considering the uncertainty of their limit of perceptibility. The October 9, 1900 earthquake appears to be located in the Kodiak Island region and not near Cape Yakatage as previously published.

This chapter presents a selection of amazing true stories collected through first-time video interviews covering the areas of Seward, Valdez, Cordova, Kodiak, Whittier, and other sites that were the hardest hit by the devastating 1964 Great Alaskan earthquake and tsunami, the second largest earthquake ever recorded. The chapter presents the story of a family hearing the tsunami coming and climbing onto a rooftop that they would ride upslope into the forest and survive. It also provides an account of the waves rolling into Seward and crushing huge oil tanks, with the water covered with oil catching fire and turning into a flaming tsunami. Stories of native fishermen at sea observing strange behavior by marine animals and even cows on Kodiak Island heading up into pasture following the earthquake only to be killed by the tsunami 30 minutes later after they had returned downhill are presented.
