Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Arizona

KellerLynn K. 2007. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Arizona

The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Canyon de Chelly National Monument on February 15–16, 2007. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and potential monitoring and research needs. Outcomes of this scoping process are a scoping summary (this report), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resource evaluation report. Participants at geologic scoping meetings evaluate the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible tour the site with park staff and geologists knowledgeable about the park’s geologic resources.
