Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Saratoga National Historical Park & Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites

Thornberry-Ehrlich TL. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Saratoga National Historical Park & Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites

The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Saratoga National Historical Park (SARA) and Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites (ROVA) on July 9, 2007 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the two units. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the parks, Northeast Region, and Geologic Resources Division, geologists from the University of Massachusetts, the New York Geological Survey (NYGS), and Vermont Geological Survey (VGS) as well as cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 1). This scoping summary highlights the GRE scoping meeting for Saratoga National Historical Park and Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites including the geologic setting, the plan for providing digital geologic maps, prioritized lists of geologic resource management issues, descriptions of significant geologic features and processes, lists of recommendations and action items, and a record of meeting participants.
