Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska
KellerLynn K. 2009. Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve on June 18, 2009, at park headquarters near Bartlett Cove. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, and Alaska Regional Office; private consultants; and cooperators from the U.S. Geological Survey, Student Conservation Association (SCA), and Colorado State University (see table 5). Superintendent Cherry Payne welcomed the group and enthusiastically expressed her interest in seeing the results of the inventory. During the meeting, Tim Connors (Geologic Resources Division) facilitated the group’s assessment of map coverage and needs, and Bruce Heise (Geologic Resources Division) led the discussion of geologic processes and features. Dave Brew (U.S. Geological Survey) presented the geologic “story” and setting of the region, and Greg Streveler (private consultant) presented the Quaternary geologic history of Glacier Bay. Robert Blodgett (private consultant) presented information about the paleontological resources of the park and preserve.
