	Tanana River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tanana River (TA-nuh-naw) is a tributary of the Yukon River in Alaska in the United States.
		Its headwaters are on the north slope of the Wrangell Mountains in southeast Alaska.
		In central Alaska, it emerges into a lowland marsh region known as the Tanana Valley and passes to the south of the city of Fairbanks and past the village of Ester.

	Tanacross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the east is the language known by the geographic term Upper Tanana, spoken in the villages of Tetlin, Northway, Scottie Creek, Beaver Creek, and (formerly) Chisana.
		To the south near the headwaters of the Copper River in Mentasta is the Ahtna language.
		The is certainly true for the languages of the Tanana River drainages, which form a continuum extending from Lower Tanana in the west (downriver) to Upper Tanana in the east (upriver).

	Liquefaction
		On the north side of the Alaska range in the Tanana River valley extensive liquefaction was observed where very young river deposits were capped by a thin (<0.3m) frozen surface layer at source distances of 50 to 120 km.
		Tanana River valley liquefaction was widespread from Fairbanks to the west, to at least several hundred kilometers eastward.
		Two measured transects along the Tanana river at Tetlin bridge showed 1.6% to 3.8% of lateral extension (spreading) of sand bars across distances of 200 meters (21 fissures) and 400 meters (48 fissures).

	AW2004 Abstract: Muhs
		For example, Tanana River silts have higher La/Yb, Th/Ta and Th/U values, whereas Yukon River silts have higher Cr/Sc and Zr/Hf values as well as Eu/Eu*, a measure of the negative Eu anomaly in the REE suite.
		Results of the geochemical modeling approach indicate that central Alaskan loess is probably derived mostly from a mixture of Tanana River sediment and Yukon River sediment, with minor contributions from local schist bedrock.
		The orientations of dunes across the state suggest a dominance of northeasterly winds and the geochemical evidence for a Yukon River contribution to central Alaskan loess is consistent with this pattern.

		Rivers are supposed to head in the summit valleys of mountain ranges and not cut across the mountains as these two rivers do.
		While the north side of the Tanana Valley may not be moving downward, the uplift on the south side does result in tipping of the region.
		One of the consequences is the construction of a major dike near Fairbanks to hold the Tanana River away from the town.

	OLCG: River Serves as Textbook for Teachers
		The river's siren song is interrupted by the surprised reactions of the passengers—Alaska teachers from around the state.
		The Tanana River is more dangerous to traverse than the Yukon River, says Demientieff, not only because of its swift current (6-8 mph and up to 12 mph in some places as compared to 5-7 mph on the Yukon) but also because of its heavy load of silt.
		When river barges encountered silted-in channels, says Demientieff, the barges were parked along the riverbank, and someone went out in a skiff and sounded the murky waters of the channel with a 10-foot pole marked in one-foot increments.

		The Tanana River is born in the ice fields of the eastern Alaska Range near Mt Hayes.
		Because river travel had long been the best and fastest mode of transportation in interior Alaska before air travel, the breakup of river ice meant that people and goods could again easily be moved over long distances.
