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.
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.
