Research Reports
In addition to our issue articles, our essays, and our journeys, Ground Truth Trekking also performs some original research, both field-based and data analysis.
Alaska Coal Resource: Potential for Future Development (2013)
An article describing how the massive coal resource in Alaska compares to the rest of the world, and what would happen if this coal was aggressively developed for export to the Pacific Rim.
A report describing our findings which suggest relatively recent seismic activity in the Lake Iliamna region.
This report analyzes the risk that volcanic mudflows (lahars) could knock out the Drift River oil storage terminal in Cook Inlet.
This page lists all of our work (field studies, reports, data analysis, critiques) related to seismic hazards in this area.
