Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Connors T. 2004. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Lake Mead National Recreation Area
A Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) workshop was held for Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAME) on February 13, 2002. The purposes of the workshop were: (1) to view and discuss the geologic resources of the park; (2) to address the status of geologic mapping for compiling both paper and digital maps; and, (3) to assess resource management issues and needs. Cooperators from the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD), LAME, and the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) were present for the workshop. The workshop involved field trips to various points of interest in LAME, led by Bill Burke (LAME) and Sue Beard (USGS), as well as another half-day scoping session to present overviews of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program, GRD, and the on-going GRI program. Round table discussions involving geologic issues for LAME included the status of geologic mapping efforts, interpretation, sources of available data, and action items generated from this meeting. For a list of meeting attendees, see Appendix A (List of Cooperators for Lake Mead NP GRI Workshop, February 13, 2002).
