Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Fort Davis National Historic Site, Texas
KellerLynn K. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Fort Davis National Historic Site, Texas
In 2009, as part of the unveiling of the new USGS map produced for the U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Health Initiative (see http://borderhealth.cr.usgs.gov/) and the release of the new geologic map of Big Bend National Park, GRE staff will coordinate a field trip to Fort Davis National Historic Site. This will address the request from park staff to have some experts give them a geologic tour of the national historic site. Bruce Heise has contacted Dr. Kevin Urbanczyk (Sul Ross State University), who would be willing to assist in leading such a trip. In addition, because Fort Davis is located in a county that is along the border, the USGS border initiative is a potential collaborator in the geologic resource evaluation. Possibly Ric Page (U.S. Geological Survey) could share information about the USGS project along the border with park staff.
