  • 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.

  • November 2008 Newsletter Vol
    Worthy of Notice Washington State Chapter, LCTHF www.wa-lcthf.org November 2008 Newsletter Vol. 9, Issue 4 Tim Underwood, Editor [email protected] President’s Message: Heading into the holiday season, we need to take stock of the past year. Many things have happened in our lives, some more devastating than others, that left deeper scars than we care for. But we are resilient; we adapt and move on much as the Corps did on their epic traverse of North America. We also try to solve issues with common sense and knowledge gained from our experiences, again, much as the Corps did. There are many similarities in our lives today with those of the Corps in 1805. Though it was a military venture, the members had their own feelings and emotions when it came to national holidays. Perhaps Thanksgiving was less a holiday then, not referenced at all, but Christmas, New Years and Independence Day were definitely mentioned and observed. This is a time for us to embrace and enjoy our families and friends and to rekindle old friendships and enjoy our good fortunes as the Corps did when they finally reached the Pacific Ocean and had their winter quarters completed. During a recent chapter outing (see page 2), it became evident that both of the Pacific Northwest chapters were losing members. True, a drop in overall membership across the Foundation “Trail” was expected after the bicentennial – and it happened! We still need to maintain a steady level of membership in order to continue our efforts of maintenance, identification and education along The Trail.
