     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.
