Kenai Fjords National Park: Geologic resources inventory report
Lanik A, Hults CP, Kurtz D. 2018. Kenai Fjords National Park: Geologic resources inventory report. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2018/1581. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program provides geologic map data and pertinent geologic information to support resource management and science-informed decision making in more than 270 natural resource parks throughout the National Park System. The GRI is one of 12 inventories funded by the National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program. The Geologic Resources Division of the NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate administers the GRI. This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting held in 2005 and a follow-up report writing meeting in 2015 (see Appendix A). Chapters of this report discuss the geologic setting, distinctive geologic features and processes, highlight geologic issues facing resource managers, describe the geologic history leading to the present-day landscape, and provide information about the previously completed GRI map data. A poster (Plate 1, in pocket) illustrates these data.
