[gis_info] Fwd: Announcement: Seventh USGS Hydrography Seminar will be March 17 @ 2 ET

[Carlson, Tom]

FYI! If you are interest in hydrography and aquatic ecosystem modeling...


Liaisons -  Below is the announcement for the next hydrography seminar.
Please distriubute widely.



The U.S. Geological Survey is hosting its seventh in a series of webinars
on hydrography on March 17, 2016 at 2:00 PM ET.  The topic of this webinar
will be hydrography and ecosystems.

High-quality hydrographic data are critical to a broad range of government
and private applications. Resource management, infrastructure planning,
environmental monitoring, fisheries management, and disaster mitigation all
depend on up-to-date, accurate, and high-quality hydrographic data. The
U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program is initiating a new
series of virtual seminars to highlight the uses of hydrographic data.
These seminars are intended to share success stories from users who have
solved real world problems using hydrographic data, provide information
about the National Hydrography Dataset and related products, and provide a
virtual forum for users, similar to what might be encountered in a
conference setting. These seminars will be presented every six to eight
weeks and feature applications and speakers from different disciplines.

This webinar will feature presentations from Howard Reeves, a Research
Hydrologist with the USGS Michigan Water Science Center, speaking about the
integration of hydrography and fisheries surveys to understand the effect
of water withdrawal on fish communities; and Dan Isaak, a fisheries
scientist with the US Forest Service’s research branch speaking about the
National Stream Internet (NSI), an effort to develop a nationally
consistent analytical infrastructure and a grassroots user base in its
application.
