Faulting

Gouges and cements in the Castle Rock Fault, Chugach Range, Alaska

Vein Growth

Microstructures Online
Kinematics of fibrous aggregates: veins and strain fringes from Johannes Gutenburg University
Unusal carbonate veins in Barbados accretionary prism
Microscale variation in isotopes of carbonate veining
Interesting pictures of vein textures
Don Fisher of Penn State has done some work on the vein distribution and morphology of the Kodiak rocks.

Fluid Inclusions

Fluid Inclusion Lab at University of Utah in Salt Lake
Fluid Inclusion microthermometry at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. They have a heating and cooling stage for their SEM.
Fluid Inclusion Labratory at Rice
The IC-PMS at Univ. Kansas is used to analyze fluid inclusions.
At Virginia Tech, they create artificial fluid inclusions and melt inclusions to study PVTx behavior.
A network of fluid inclusion people and their answers to FAQs
Fluid Inclusions Lab at Univ. Leoben
Geothermal fluid inclusion site - discusses salinity, dating, and isotopes.
CSIRO, a commercial fluid inclusion analyzing firm in Australia - they have lots of detailed information about performing analyses.
The history of Fluid Inclusion Studies
The findings of fluid inclusions studies at Yucca Mountain by Yuri Dublyansky (predictably, the guy the DOE fired.)

Kodiak Island Miscellany

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge

Fish & Wildlife page about the Kodiak Refuge. The refuge includes 2/3 of Kodiak and 50,000 acres of Afognak Island to the north.
Or visit Alaska Fish & Game home
Article about the KNWR from Alaska.com including contact info for the refuge
According to this USF&WS page, the standard biology-related special use permits are only required in the lower 48. Alaska has a different one, primarily related to commercial uses.
