The U.S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior is presenting
a series of topical workshops pertaining to mapping, vegetation,
photo-interpretation, remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems.
The workshops are part of an effort to exchange information and provide
access to spatial technologies developed at the center for natural resource
survey.  The workshops are available to the general public educators, state
and federal agencies.  Workshop participation by the international
community is also greatly encouraged.

Most of the workshops are 3 days long, creating compact presentation of
materials.  No previous experience in any of the topical workshop is
assumed, except for advanced workshops.  Appropriate handouts, photos,
maps, and other forms of distributed materials are provided to the workshop
participants.  Some workshops will have scheduled field exercises.
Hands-on exercises are utilized to involve workshop participation.
Specialized workshop topics and transient workshops can be arranged based
upon consultation and number of workshop participants.  Scheduled workshops
are subject to change.  Please contact the workshop coordinator at the
listed phone number for workshop information.
