Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Little River Canyon National Preserve
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2009. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Little River Canyon National Preserve
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Little River Canyon National Preserve on March 25, 2009 at the Chickamauga Battlefield’s maintenance complex training room in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. The scoping meeting was followed by a site visit at the preserve on March 26, 2009. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the preserve, Geologic Resources Division, and Cumberland Piedmont Network, geologists from the Tennessee Division of Geology and Geological Survey of Alabama, academics from Jacksonville State University and Western Kentucky University and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2). Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Lisa Norby (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the preserve. Geologists from the Geological Survey of Alabama, Jacksonville State University, and Western Kentucky University presented a brief geologic overview of the preserve and surrounding area.
