    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks

    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks, Oregon and Washington Geologic Resources Division Prepared by John Graham National Park Service January 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a Geologic Resources Inventory report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks (LEWI) on October 14, 2009 at Fort Clatsop Visitors Center, Oregon. Meeting Facilitator Bruce Heise of the Geologic Resources Division (NPS GRD) introduced the Geologic Resources Inventory program and led the discussion regarding geologic processes, features, and issues at Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks. GIS Facilitator Greg Mack from the Pacific West Regional Office (NPS PWRO) facilitated the discussion of map coverage. Ian Madin, Chief Scientist with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), presented an overview of the region’s geology. On Thursday, October 15, 2009, Tom Horning (Horning Geosciences) and Ian Madin (DOGAMI) led a field trip to several units within Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks.

    The Minnesota Seaside Station near Port Renfrew, British Columbia: A Photo Essay Erik A. Moore and Rebecca Toov* n 1898, University of Minnesota botanist Josephine Tilden, her sixty-year-old mother, and a field guide landed their canoe on Vancouver Island at the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This Iconcluded one journey – involving three thousand kilometres of travel westward from Minneapolis – and began another that filled a decade of Tilden’s life and that continues to echo in the present. Inspired by the unique flora and fauna of her landing place, Tilden secured a deed for four acres (1.6 hectares) along the coast at what came to be known as Botanical Beach in order to serve as the Minnesota Seaside Station (Figure 1). Born in Davenport, Iowa, and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Josephine Tilden attended the University of Minnesota and completed her undergraduate degree in botany in 1895. She continued her graduate studies there, in the field of phycological botany, and was soon ap- pointed to a faculty position (the first woman to hold such a post in the sciences) and became professor of botany in 1910. With the support of her department chair Conway MacMillan and others, Tilden’s research laboratory became the site of the Minnesota Seaside Station, a place for conducting morphological and physiological work upon the plants and animals of the west coast of North America. It was inaugurated in 1901, when some thirty people, including Tilden, MacMillan, departmental colleagues, and a researcher from Tokyo, spent the summer there.1 * Special thanks to this issue’s guest editors, Alan D.

Bobrowsky#, Ian Hutchinson$ !Depatment of Earth Sciences and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6 "Geological Survey of Canada, 101 - 605 Robson St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 5J3 #Geological Survey Branch, P.O. Box 9320, Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 9N3 $Department of Geography and Institute for Quaternary Research, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada BC V5A 1S6 Abstract Large tsunamis strike the British Columbia coast an average of once every several hundred years. Some of the tsunamis, including one from Alaska in 1964, are the result of distant great earthquakes. Most, however, are triggered by earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone, which extends along the Paci"c coast from Vancouver Island to northern California. Evidence of these tsunamis has been found in tidal marshes and low-elevation coastal lakes on western Vancouver Island. The tsunamis deposited sheets of sand and gravel now preserved in sequences of peat and mud. These sheets commonly contain marine fossils, and they thin and "ne landward, consistent with deposition by landward surges of water. They occur in low-energy settings where other possible depositional processes, such as stream #ooding and storm surges, can be ruled out. The most recent large tsunami generated by an earthquake at the Cascadia subduction zone has been dated in Washington and Japan to AD 1700. The spatial distribution of the deposits of the 1700 tsunami, together with theoretical numerical modelling, indicate wave run-ups of up to 5 m asl along the outer coast of Vancouver Island and up to 15}20 m asl at the heads of some inlets.

The mapping methodology is summarized in Harney et al (2008). This data summary report provides information on geomorphic and biological features of 4,694 km of shoreline mapped for the 2012 survey of Northwest Alaska. The habitat inventory is comprised of 3,469 along-shore segments (units), averaging 1,353 m in length (note that the AK Coast 1:63,360 digital shoreline shows this mapping area encompassing 3,095 km, but mapping data based on better digital shorelines represent the same area with 4,694 km stretching along the coast). Organic/estuary shorelines (such as estuaries) are mapped along 744.4 km (15.9%) of the study area. Bedrock shorelines (Shore Types 1-5) are extremely limited along the shoreline with only 0.2% mapped. Close to half of the shoreline is classified as Tundra (44.3%) with low, vegetated peat the most commonly occurring tundra shore type. Approximately a third (34.1%) of the mapped coastal environment is characterized as sediment-dominated shorelines (Shore Types 21-30).
