Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
KellerLynn K. 2006. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
This report highlights a geologic resource evaluation scoping session that was held at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on January 25–26, 2006. The NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD) organized this scoping session in order to view and discuss the monument’s geologic resources, address the status of geologic maps and digitizing, and assess resource management issues and needs. In addition, on January 24, 2006, GRE staff met at the Arizona Geological Survey to discuss cooperative efforts in national parks in Arizona, including Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Participants at the meeting at Organ Pipe Cactus included GRD staff, park staff, staff from the Sonoran Desert Network, and cooperators from the US Geological Survey, Arizona Geological Survey, Northern Arizona University, and Colorado State University (table 1).
