  • Apostle Islands National Lakehore Geologic Resources Inventory
    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Geologic Resources Division Prepared by Trista L. Thornberry-Ehrlich National Park Service August 7, 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 Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on July 20-21, 2010 both out in the field on a boating site visit from Bayfield, Wisconsin, and at the headquarters building for the Great Lakes Network in Ashland, Wisconsin. Jim Chappell (Colorado State University [CSU]) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the park. Dick Ojakangas from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and Laurel Woodruff from the U.S. Geological Survey presented brief geologic overviews of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park and Geologic Resources Division; geologists from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, and U.S. Geological Survey; and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2).

Noble Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No.8 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 1993 Ie ------ -- -- - -- --_.- - ----------------------------- --- ----- ABSTRACT During June and July of 1988, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center performed limited testing at four historic lighthouse complexes within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements.

Professor! "How many pages do I have to write in order to complete a Master's thesis project?" "Whatever it takes." "Is that all?" As pages began to accumulate in this project I realized the true impact of those words. For the last 2 years this project has been my life and work, but is not my work alone.

  • Design of the Apostle Islands Study
    Changing Patterns of Recreation over Time: What Can Be Learned from Panel Studies? Thomas A. Heberlein Department of Rural Sociology University of Wisconsin-Madison-USA Walter F. Kuentzel School of Natural Resources University of Vermont-USA Rebecca A. Grossberg Department of Rural Sociology University of Wisconsin-Madison-USA Please Do Not Cite without Permission Updated Versions at http://nature.snr.uvm.edu/ai/ Introduction Final June 28, 1999 The title of this paper is misleading. It suggests a dry dusty methodological treatise on the virtues of using panel data. Usually in these papers the authors have no real data but give clear examples of what might be learned IF time series or panel data were available. Because it takes a long time commitment, substantial and sustained resources, institutional stability, and a dose of good luck to collect data on individuals over time there are many more what if papers than what is papers. This paper, which began 24 years ago in a small National Park in the United States is the real thing. Today we will be reporting the first glimpses of what one can see with longitudinal data from three cross-sectional surveys, a three-wave panel and a two-wave panel of visitors to a North American National Park. We surveyed visitors to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in 1975, 1985, and 1997. We also surveyed the 1975 visitors 10 years and 22 years after they were first surveyed, and surveyed the 1985 visitors 12 years after they were first sampled. A true understanding of growth and change requires time-series data.
