Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve: Geologic Resources Inventory Report

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek, harbors significant geologic heritage that informs park management decisions regarding visitor safety, infrastructure planning, resource protection, and interpretation. The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) report by Lanik and Loso (2025) provides a comprehensive analysis of the region's geological history, features, and processes, offering actionable insights for conservation efforts. The study integrates geologic data to address management challenges while contributing to broader understanding through accompanying GIS datasets and visual aids. This work serves as a critical resource for balancing development with the preservation of natural and cultural resources in one of the largest protected areas in the U.S.
