     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.
