Unique manuscript report documenting pioneering Cold War-era coastal geology at Point Barrow.With Original photographs of the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory's operations, tracked vehicles, and sea-ice conditions.An extensive typescript report illustrated with original photographs detailing near-shore geological research conducted at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory (ARL) in Point Barrow, Alaska through 1957.Compiled by geologist Marshall Schalk for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the text covers demanding fieldwork undertaken between 1954 and 1957. It captures a pivotal period of Cold War Arctic science, providing raw data, analytical plots, and a rich photographic record of coastal dynamics in one of the most extreme environments on earth.Unpublished in this comprehensive format, the typescript was submitted directly to Woods Hole in February 1957. Schalk, a professor at Smith College, operated under the auspices of the Office of Naval Research, which established the ARL in 1947 to support strategic and scientific objectives in the high latitudes. The volume serves as a detailed update to an earlier 1955 status report, incorporating new surveys and precise profile plots prepared by cartographer Barbara J. Shearer. Schalk's fieldwork at Point Barrow would continue into the 1960s, yielding highly influential academic papers on Arctic coastal erosion and ice-push mechanics.Original PhotographsThe volume concludes with an appendix of 24 original black-and-white photographs (the text mentions 25 photographs, but photo no. IV is missing). These compelling images (printed on outdated photographic paper for which the author offers apologies) document the stark Arctic beachscapes, heavy surf, and substantial ice formations. Operational photographs show researchers using military landing craft, tracked vehicles, and small dories in perilous surf. Notable plates show oil tanker hemmed in by ice, and other vessels dry-ramp landing at Point Barrow, and a demonstration of the use of a hand-cranked ice auger in deep snow.The Naval Arctic Research Laboratory was the premier American facility for high-latitude research during the Cold War. Schalk's investigations into beach profiles and sediment transport were vital for understanding how to maintain coastal installations and conduct operations in an environment where sea-ice and catastrophic seasonal storms could reshape the coastline in a matter of hours.Marshall SchalkMarshall B. Schalk (1897 1982), an American petroleum geologist who helped define the early understanding of Arctic Alaska s geology, later focused on coastal geomorphology in a series of field investigations at Point Barrow between 1954 and 1957. These studies, conducted under federal sponsorship, mark a shift in his work from broad geological reconnaissance to detailed analysis of shoreline processes.By the 1950s, Point Barrow had become the main base for Arctic scientific research. In 1954, Schalk led a project titled Shoreline Morphology and Studies of Beaches under the Office of Naval Research, working from the Arctic Research Laboratory. His team carried out fieldwork from July 2 to September 14, the short period when sea ice recedes and coastal features are accessible. They measured beach profiles, examin. Book.
