Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
KellerLynn K. 2010. Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
On June 28–29, 2010, the Geologic Resources Division held a GRI scoping meeting for Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore at the Bailly Ranger Station, Porter, Indiana (fig 1). Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the national lakeshore and Geologic Resources Division, and cooperators from Colorado State University, the Indiana Geological Survey, and the U.S. Geological Survey (table 3). Superintendent Constantine Dillon welcomed the group and expressed his interest and support of the geologic inventory by stating, “We don’t have near the mapping I wish we had.” He also highlighted some of the impacts that industry and development have had on the “much manipulated landscape” of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. He pointed out two topics that he hopes the inventory can help address: What are the sand sources and are they the same as during initial development of the shoreline? And, where are the “remnant dunes?”
