Cape Hatteras National Seashore: Geologic Resources Inventory report
Schupp CA. 2015. Cape Hatteras National Seashore: Geologic Resources Inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2015/964. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This GRI report is a companion document to previously completed GRI digital geologic map data. It was written for resource managers to support science-informed decision making. It may also be useful for interpretation. The report was prepared using available geologic information, and the NPS Geologic Resources Division conducted no new fieldwork in association with its preparation. Sections of the report discuss distinctive geologic features and processes within the park, highlight geologic issues facing resource managers, describe the geologic history leading to the present-day landscape, and provide information about the GRI geologic map data. Posters illustrate these data. The Map Unit Properties Tables summarize report content for each geologic map unit.
