Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2006. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site on June 15, 2006 at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) and Jim Chappell (Colorado State University) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the site. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, Kentucky Geological Survey, Cumberland Piedmont Network, as well as area experts from the Cave Research Foundation, State University of New York, and Kentucky University, and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRE scoping meeting for Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site including the geologic setting, the plan for providing a digital geologic map, a prioritized list of geologic resource management issues, a description of significant geologic features and processes, lists of recommendations and action items, and a record of meeting participants.
