Geologic Resources Inventory Project for Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Stephanie O'Meara, Colorado State University, Tim Connors (NPS GRD), Jason Kenworthy (NPS GRD). Geologic Resources Inventory Project for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. 2007-2020
This Geologic Resources Inventory Project is part of the NPS Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) Program. The program strives to advance science based management of natural resources in the national parks, and to raise awareness about geology and the role that geologic features and processes play in the environment. The Geologic Resources Division of the NPS Natural Resource Program Center administers the program. A completed GRI project consists of digital geologic-GIS map(s), and a geologic report, and is intended to assist NPS personnel in the protection and management of the park. GRI geologic-GIS maps are available in ESRI GIS formats, and include FGDC metadata, GIS readme file, and an ancillary map information document that contain descriptions of units present on the map, as well as graphics, figures, tables, references and report text when present on the source maps used by the GRI in producing the map. The GRI geologic report identifies and provides a description of key geologic resource management issues, a discussion of geologic features and processes important to park ecosystems and management, a map unit properties table that identifies characteristics of geologic map units, a brief geologic history of the park area; and an overview of the digital geologic map data. Refer to Holdings (below) for the availability of GRI digital geologic-GIS map(s), and the GRI geologic report pertaining to NPS Units related to this project. Contact Bruce Heise (NPS GRD; bruce_heise@nps.gov) concerning the GRI program, Tim Connors (NPS GRD; tim_connors@nps.gov), concerning the status and availability of GRI geologic-GIS maps, Jason Kenworthy(NPS GRD; jason_kenworthy@nps.gov) concerning the status and availability of GRI reports, and Stephanie O’Meara (Colorado State University; stephanie.omeara@colostate.edu) concerning the use of GRI geologic-GIS maps.
