KellerLynn K. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Pinnacles National Monument, California
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Pinnacles National Monument on September 25, 2007. Chief of Resource Management Denise Louie welcomed the participants, and Brant Porter, an interpreter at the national monument, provided a brief history that highlighted many of the monument’s scenic and scientific values. Chris Wills (California Geological Survey) presented a general overview of California geology and discussed specific geologic hazards as they pertain to the national monument. Vince Matthews (Colorado Geological Survey) presented information about the geologic history, rock types, and large-scale tectonic movements of Pinnacles National Monument. Tim Connors (Geologic Resources Division) facilitated the assessment of map coverage, and Bruce Heise (Geologic Resources Division) led the discussion of geologic processes and features.
