Geologic Resource Inventory Scoping Summary: Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2011. Geologic Resource Inventory Scoping Summary: Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site on August 16, 2011 at the park’s visitor center and headquarters building in Stanton, North Dakota. A site visit at the historic site followed the meeting. Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Lisa Norby (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes, features, and issues at the park. After an introduction by park superintendent Wendy Ross, Eric Brevik from Dickinson State University presented a brief geologic overview of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, and Northern Great Plains Network; geologists from Dickinson State University and the University of North Dakota; and a cooperator from Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRI scoping meeting for Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site 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. Please note that since the park scoping, the GRI map team has completed and posted the digital geologic map for Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site.
