2012 Keck Alaska: Fieldwork in the Shumagin Islands

This is a video that chronicles geologic fieldwork of a Keck Geology project that was focused on the Upper Cretaceous Shumagin Formation on Nagai Island, in June/July 2012. The primary objective was to sample sandstones to study and understand sedimentary provenance. This is part of a broader, multi-year effort to understand the evolution of the Chugach terrane in southern Alaska.
