Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area
Graham J. 2002. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area
A Geologic Resources Evaluation (GRE, formerly Geologic Resource Inventory) workshop for parks in the North Coast and Cascades Network was held in Seattle, Washington on September 10th through 12th, 2002. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the status of geologic mapping in the parks and the associated bibliographies for compiling both paper and digital maps, and to identify sources of available information and geologic resource management issues and needs. The workshop involved a 4 to 8 hour scoping session for each park during which overviews of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program, the role of WASO-Geologic Resources Division (GRD) in overseeing the baseline inventory for geologic resources, and the on-going service-wide GRE were presented. The actions and products derived for each park from this workshop include: (1) review and discuss geologic maps in the published record and current mapping in progress to determine which geologic maps will comprise the parks’ baseline inventories and be digitized into a GIS; (2) identify any new geologic mapping needs; (3) update and verify the bibliographies; (4) write a summary report of the workshop; and (5) write a Geologic Resources Evaluation Report which brings together all of these products. This document is the summary report of the workshop and status of on-going mapping for North Cascades National Park and Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas (NOCA).
