The government’s planning team for the Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument is seeking ideas. The team,
which includes the BLM and Utah’s Advisory Council on Science and
Technology, wants proposals for papers on the geology,
paleontology, biology and archaeology of the new monument.
Scientists and planners at a symposium in November will assess the
papers and use them to establish a network of scientists involved
with the area. Utah State Science Advisor Suzanne Winters says she
hopes the conference ensures that science and education will be
part of the monument’s management. For more information, contact
