National Park Service, Geologic Resources Division

The Geologic Resources Division (GRD) assists the National Park Service and partners in the Service-wide coordination, support, and guidance necessary to:

• understand and implement science-informed stewardship of geologic and associated park resources;
• reduce impacts from energy, mineral, and other development; and,
• protect visitor values.

The Division created and manages the GIP Program and cost shares positions with NPS units. GRD manages two Service-wide internship programs – the Geoscientists-in-the-Parks and Mosaics in Science Programs. For more information, visit https://www.nps.gov/grd
