KellerLynn K. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, California

On May 7, 2008, the National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area at the park headquarters building in Thousand Oaks, California. Supervisory Ecologist Ray Sauvajot welcomed the group and provided some background information about the national recreation area. Guy Cochrane (USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program) presented information about the California Coast State Waters Mapping Project, which is mapping seafloor and benthic habitats. Chris Wills (California Geological Survey) presented information about the state survey’s mapping program, which is driven by population growth and development. Eugene Fritsche (California State University Northridge) presented the geologic history of the Santa Monica Mountains. Greg Mack (Pacific West Region) facilitated the assessment of map coverage, and Bruce Heise (Geologic Resources Division) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the national recreation area.
