In April the Geologic Resources Division convened a workshop of NPS resource managers and geology specialists to focus on integrating geosciences into park planning and natural systems management. About 70 NPS staff participated, representing more than 40 parks and six regions. Sessions ranged from geologic education to regulatory compliance to ecosystem restoration. The workshop included breakout sessions by region and theme, covering caves, fossils, geologic hazards, shorelines, NPS extraction of sand and gravel for administrative purposes, and disturbed lands restoration. The summit delineated park resource management and research needs and helped define the priorities and future direction for the geology program. | |
