It also includes some extremely remote, wild places, like Denali National Park (AK), as well as sites closer to an urban setting, such as Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (PA).

This round of projects features some of the nation's premier public lands, such as Craters of the Moon National Monument (ID), Grand Canyon National Park (AZ), Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (UT), and the Tongass National Forest (AK). It also includes some extremely remote, wild places, like Denali National Park (AK), as well as sites closer to an urban setting, such as Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (PA). GeoCorps project areas cover a broad range of subjects, including geology, hydrology, paleontology, mapping , GIS (Geographic Information Systems), geo-hazards, education, and interpretation. There are even positions relating to astronomy and archaeology this season.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Benefits</span></strong><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
