Participants may assist with research, synthesis of scientific literature, geologic mapping, GIS analysis, site evaluations, resource inventorying and monitoring, impact mitigation, developing brochures and informative media presentations, and educating park staff and park visitors.  GIP positions can last from 3 months to one-year. Participants selected for the GIP program have a unique opportunity to contribute to the conservation of America's national parks. Parks benefit from a participant's knowledge and skills in geological or other natural resource science field, while participants gain valuable work experience by working with the National Park Service.
