Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Channel Islands National Park, California
KellerLynn K. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Channel Islands National Park, California
The Geologic Resource Evaluation (GRE) Program provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resource evaluation report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. On May 5, 2008, USGS geologists Dan Muhs, Scott Minor, and Randy Schumann led GRE scoping participants on a field trip to eastern Santa Cruz Island. On May 6, 2008, the National Park Service held the discussion portion of the GRE scoping meeting for Channel Islands National Park at the headquarters building at Channel Islands National Park, Ventura, California.
