A cooperative research project between the U. S. Geological Survey and the State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys. Conduct diagr. 1: geologic cross section, Lynn Ary park, Anchorage, Alaska. Conduct diagr. 2: undrained shear strength profiles, Lynn Ary park, Anchorage, Alaska. Conduct diagr. 3: cone-penetrometer tests at locations La-C-1, La-C-2, La-C-3, Lynn Ary park, Anchorage, Alaska. Conduct diagr. 4: geotechnical borehole log: USGS-B-3, Lynn Ary park, Anchorage, Alaska. Conduct diagr. 5: geotechnical borehole log: USGS-B-5, Lynn Ary park, Anchorage, Alaska.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 28-30).

New geologic and geotechnical data are used to differentiate the facies in the Bootlegger Core Formation and to examine the roles of the facies in the 1964 earthquake-induced landslide at Turnagain Heights.
