British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (BCMEMPR) Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) 37 presents analytical and statistical data for 36 variables in stream sediments from 741 sample sites. Uranium, fluoride, sulphate and pH values in waters from these sites are also included in this report.

The Yakutat (NTS 114O) and Tatshenshini River (NTS 114P) map sheets were surveyed at the same time as the Skagway (NTS 104M) map sheet.
A preliminary report containing field and analytical data covering the Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Park was released in 1995. The full data set was made available in 2002.
