Graham J. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Acadia National Park, Maine
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Acadia National Park (ACAD) on June 9-10, 2008 at the Schoodic Education and Research Center, Acadia National Park. Bruce Heise (NPS) led a discussion regarding geologic processes and features and Melanie Ransmeier (NPS) facilitated the discussion of map coverage for Acadia National Park. David Manski (ACAD, Chief of Resource Management) presented an overview of geologic resource management issues at the park. Bob Marvinney (Maine Geological Survey, State Geologist) and Chris Koteas (University of Massachusetts) described the bedrock geology of Acadia National Park, and Joe Kelley (University of Maine) presented an overview of the Quaternary geology. Mark Borrelli (Texas A&M, NPS) explained the NPS submerged resource mapping program and how the program may apply to Acadia National Park. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, and Northeast Regional Office and cooperators from the Maine Geological Survey (MGS), University of Maine, University of Massachusetts, Texas A&M, and Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRE scoping meeting for Acadia National Park including the geologic setting, the plan for providing a digital geologic map, a 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.
