The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Herbert Hoover National Historic Site on June 17, 2011, at the park’s Visitor Center. Bruce Heise (NPS Geologic Resources Division) facilitated the meeting and led the discussion regarding geologic issues, features, and processes at the park. GIS specialist Andrea Croskrey (NPS Geologic Resources Division) led the discussion of map coverage. Following park historian Cary Wiesner’s account of Herbert Hoover’s early geological life, Ray Anderson (Iowa Geological and Water Survey) provided an overview of the bedrock geology of the region, and Stephanie Tassier-Surine presented a summary of the Quaternary geology. In the afternoon, Pete Swisher (Superintendent, Herbert Hoover National Historic Site) and Cary Wiesner (Historian, Herbert Hoover National Historic Site) led a fieldtrip through the historic site. Following the meeting, Deborah Quade, Ray Anderson, and Stephanie Tassier-Surine of the Iowa Geological and Water Survey led a fieldtrip to the Devonian Fossil Gorge in the Coralville Dam Emergency Spillway.
