Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2005. Assateague Island National Seashore Geologic Resource Management Issues Scoping Summary
This report briefly describes the general geology of Assateague Island National Seashore (ASIS), including a geologic history of the park, geologic resource management issues in the park, and the status of Geologic Resource Evaluation (GRE) digital geologic mapping projects related to the park. The National Park Service held a Geologic Resource Evaluation scoping meeting for Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland on Wednesday, July 27 through Thursday, July 28, 2005. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of geologic mapping in the park, the associated bibliography, and geologic issues effecting the park. Products derived from the scoping meeting will include: (1) Digitized geologic maps covering the park; (2) Updated and validated geologic bibliography; (3) Scoping summary (this report); and (4) Geologic Resource Evaluation report which brings together all of these products.
