Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico
KellerLynn K. 2006. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico
This summary highlights a geologic resource evaluation scoping session for El Malpais National Monument held in Grants, New Mexico, on March 30, 2006. The NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD) organized this scoping session in conjunction with El Morro National Monument in order to view and discuss geologic resources, address the status of geologic maps and digitizing, and assess resource management issues and needs. Participants at the meeting included GRD staff, park staff, and cooperators from the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and Colorado State University (table 1). Prior to the meeting, on March 16, 2006, Ken Mabery (geologist and former management assistant at El Malpais National Monument), Bruce Heise (geologist, NPS Geologic Resources Division), and Katie KellerLynn (geologist/research associate, Colorado State University) participated in a conference call to gather pertinent background information about geologic resources of El Malpais and El Morro National Monuments; Mabery was not able to attend the scoping meeting on March 30 in New Mexico.
