Yellowstone National Park 1 FOREWORD Since the dawn of scientific wondering, human inquiry has led to the exploration, and often alter- ation, of almost everything in our world, at every scale—from the landscape of the moon to the human genome. In the national parks, however, through varying definitions and to varying degrees of success, we have attempted to “preserve natural conditions” for the past 130 years. Their long-term preservation of natural resources makes parks reservoirs of information of great value to humanity, and perhaps today more than ever before, America’s national parks are being rec- ognized as being more than pleasuring grounds and nature preserves. The NPS’s Natural Resource Challenge urges that in addition to using science as a means to improve park management, parks can and should be centers for broad scientific research and inquiry. The national parks have long-captured the imagination of scientists, who recognized them as places where we could observe natural processes operating in places that had been less subject to human alteration than most others throughout the nation, and indeed throughout the world. In Yellowstone, those kinds of observed processes have ranged from macro-scale studies of landscape changes affecting the local ecosystem to micro-scale studies of tiny organisms that have the poten- tial to change the lives of people the world over, making the protection of this wilderness relevant and crucial even to those who will never know its aesthetic and recreational wonders. There are more than 300 index entries in this year’s Investigators’ Annual Report. That is a lot of science; a lot of knowledge being collected that needs to be shared. This report should not be seen as the body of that knowledge, but rather as its skeleton. Contact information is provided so that readers may learn more about the projects and results described here. All persons who wish to con- duct their own research in Yellowstone are required to apply for a permit. Information on permit- ting procedures is available from the Research Permitting Office, Yellowstone Center for Resources, P.O.

The descriptive data pro- vided by ethnography are not easily assembled by other methods. By living in a place and observing, as well as talking with the people who visit, work, and reside within it provides a greater depth of under- standing. In discovering what people do when they experience Yellowstone, what they expect and how these expectations shape their attitudes about parks, wilderness and recreation, this research should provide a valuable contribution to park management and hopefully encourage and invite thoughtful dialogue over what culture and nature means and their relative value in emerging policy. Findings: This research is ongoing. However, some interviews were conducted with visitors and employees. Observations about what visitors actually do have been recorded but without any results or conclusions at this time. 4 2000 Investigators’ Annual Reports ARCHEOLOGY Project title: Geochemical Investigations of Obsidian Source Material Principal investigator: Mr. Kenneth Cannon Phone number: 402-437-5392, ext. 139 Email: [email protected] Address: Midwest Archeological Center Federal Building, Rm 474 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508-3873 Additional investigator(s): Richard Hughes Objective: To collect provenence and geochemical data on geologic sources of toolstone quality obsidian.

    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CENOZOIC DEPOSITS OF THE UPPER JEFFERSON VALLEY MBMG Open File Report 505 2004 Compiled and mapped by Susan M. Vuke, Walter W. Coppinger, and Bruce E. Cox This report has been reviewed for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical and editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geology Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under contract Number 03HQAG0090. CENOZOIC DEPOSITS OF THE UPPER JEFFERSON VALLEY Cenozoic deposits are the focus of the Geologic Map of the upper Jefferson Valley. The map is largely a compilation of previous mapping with additional interpretations based on aerial photos and limited additional field work. Older rocks are included to show their relations to the Cenozoic deposits, but they are generalized on the map. Lithologic descriptions of the Cenozoic deposits are given in the map explanation (p. 17). References used for the map compilation are shown on p. 15. The northern and southern parts of the map are discussed separately. NORTHERN PART OF MAP AREA Quaternary deposits A variety of Quaternary deposits blanket much of the slope area of the Whitetail and Pipestone Creek valleys between the flanks of the Highland Mountains and Bull Mountain (Fig. 1). East and southeast of these Quaternary slope deposits are more isolated areas of partly cemented Pleistocene gravels on pediments. One of these gravel deposits near Red Hill (Fig. 1) yielded a late Pleistocene vertebrate assemblage including cheetah, horse, camel, and large mountain sheep. Radiocarbon dates from the lowest part of the sequence range between 10,000 and 9,000 14C yr.

  • Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana
    Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana Compiled and Mapped by Zachary C. St. Jean and Deirdre R. Teeter Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 488 2004 This report has had preliminary reviews for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the EDMAP component of the National Cooperative Geological Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under Contract Number 01HQAG0157. Introduction This project was funded by the EDMAP program of the U. S. Geological Survey. Field studies, including geologic mapping and a gravity and magnetic survey, were conducted during the 2001 field season. These studies were undertaken to gain a better understanding of the geologic structure of the Ruby basin in the area of Ruby Dam in southwest Montana (Figures 1 and 2). Ruby Dam, which impounds Ruby Reservoir, lies within a seismically active region known as the Intermountain Seismic Belt. Delineation and detailed mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary sediments has helped to understand better the occurrence of Quaternary faulting in the basin. No new faults of Quaternary age were recognized within the field area. However, a fault that offsets Quaternary deposits was newly mapped by the authors in a gravel pit two miles north of the north map boundary. This fault may change previously calculated ground acceleration values at the dam site, and may indicate a greater susceptibility of the dam to seismic activity than previously thought. The geologic map in this report combines previous work that focused on the bedrock of the area with new mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary deposits by the present authors.

    Suggested citation: Smith, D.W. 1998. Yellowstone Wolf Project: Annual Report, 1997. National Park Service, Yellowstone Center for Resources, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, YCR-NR- 98-2. Yellowstone Wolf Project Annual Report 1997 Douglas W. Smith National Park Service Yellowstone Center for Resources Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming YCR-NR-98-2 BACKGROUND Although wolf packs once roamed from the Arctic tundra to Mexico, they were regarded as danger- ous predators, and gradual loss of habitat and deliberate extermination programs led to their demise throughout most of the United States. By 1926 when the National Park Service (NPS) ended its predator control efforts, Yellowstone had no wolf packs left. In the decades that followed, the importance of the wolf as part of a naturally functioning ecosystem came to be better understood, and the gray wolf (Canis lupus) was eventually listed as an endangered species in all of its traditional range except Alaska. NPS policy calls for restoring native species that have been eliminated as a result of human activity if adequate habitat exists to support them and the species can be managed so as not to pose a serious threat to people or property outside the park. Because of its size and the abundant prey that existed here, Yellowstone was an obvious choice as a place where wolf restoration would have a good chance of succeeding. The designated recovery area includes the entire Greater Yellowstone Area. The goal of the wolf restoration program is to maintain at least 10 breeding wolf pairs in Greater Yellowstone as it is for the other two recovery areas in central Idaho and northwestern Montana.
