Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Gateway National Recreation Area
Thornberry-Ehrlich TL. 2011. Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Gateway National Recreation Area
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Gateway National Recreation Area on June 21, 2010 at the park’s headquarters building in Staten Island, New York. A site visit at the recreation area occurred the following day. Heather Stanton (Colorado State University [CSU]) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the park. After an introduction by park Chief of Resource Management, Dave Avrin, Norbert Psuty from Rutgers University presented a brief geologic overview of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park and Geologic Resources Division, geologists from Rutgers University (Dr. Psuty) and the New Jersey Geological Survey (Scott Sanford), and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRI scoping meeting for Gateway National Recreation Area including the geologic setting, the plan for providing a digital geologic map, a prioritized 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.
