 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.

MI Introduction to Dendroecology

2000-02-08 Thread Holly Nelson

 Introduction to Dendroecology
 
 February 24-25, 2000
 
 Workshop Description:
 This two day introductory workshop will describe the concept of 
 tree-ring analysis using skeleton plotting and crossdating 
 techniques.  The course will cover equipment required, field 
 techniques, how to `choose' study trees, increment core collection 
 and transport, core mounting and sanding, skeleton plotting and 
 crossdating, and the use of computer programs for quality control 
 and chronology development.  The first day of the workshop will 
 cover all items through sanding procedures in the morning.  The 
 afternoon will be spent in the field collecting cores and beginning 
 core preparation in the lab.  The second day of the workshop will 
 be devoted to skeleton plotting and crossdating cores, measuring 
 ring widths, and running COFECHA (a program designed to 
 verify/assist with crossdating accuracy).  The final portion of the 
 workshop will consist of running ARSTAN ( a program designed to 
 develop a species/site chronology from the collection of individual 
 cores).  Workshop participants will need to bring clothes 
 appropriate for field activities, including sturdy boots and 
 raingear.

 December 1-3   Introduction to GPS for Natural Resource 
Assessment  Survey
 
 Workshop Description:
 This three day introductory workshop will describe the concept of 
 using a GPS system as well as the basic operation of the data 
 logger, receiver and antenna. Various strategies of collecting 
 field positional data for natural resource assessment and survey 
 will be presented. GPS real-time and post-processing differential 
 positional data will be described, displayed, and compared. GPS
 positional data will be exported to a Geographic Information System 
 (GIS) as a demonstration of connecting collected data to an 
 existing database. There will be a one day field exercise working
 with the GPS collection hardware. The workshop will be comprised of 
 lectures, hands-on exercises, handouts, slides, video presentations 
 and a GPS floppy disk data file of collected GPS ground points. The 
 workshop is ideally suitable for participants who have none or very 
 limited working experience with GPS.
