Bargar KE and Dzurisin DD. 1986. Bibliography and brief history of studies by the U S Geological Survey in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana: 1965-1986. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 86-573. United States Geological Survey. Reston, VA
This report is intended to provide a convenient summary of research conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Yellowstone National Park since the Survey began a comprehensive investigation of the geology of the park in 1965. USGS research at YeHowstone spans numerous scientific disciplines, involves scores of scientists in the field and in laboratories, and draws support from several congressional programs and other government agencies. Given the duration and complexity of the USGS research effort at YeHowstone and continued scientific and public interest in the park, the authors thought it would be useful to compile a bibliography of USGS publications dealing with Yellowstone and to summarize the evolution and current status of the USGS research effort in the park. We have restricted our compilation to publications authored by USGS scientists and a few other studies carried out with USGS funding, with full knowledge that many others have contributed substantially to our understanding of the geology of Yellowstone Park. Indeed, collaboration between USGS researchers and others from universities and elsewhere has been particularly fruitful at Yellowstone, as evidenced by a vigorous program of grants and contracts to outside researchers funded by the USGS Geothermal Research Program since its inception in 1971. The Geological Survey acknowledges the cooperation and support of the National Park Service, which is entrusted with preserving and managing the unique national treasure which is Yellowstone National Park.
