Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve: Geologic Resources Inventory Report

Lanik A and Loso M . 2025. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve: Geologic Resources Inventory Report. Science Report. NPS/SR—2025/361. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2315978

Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) reports provide geologic information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, the planning and protection of infrastructure, and the preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in GRI reports may also be useful for interpretation. The chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic history, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data and poster (separate products) are also provided.
