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 has begun a series of
virtual seminars to highlight the uses of hydrographic data.  The
next seminar will be on September 24 at 2 pm EDT.  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.


The next seminar will feature John Brakebill of the USGS
Maryland-Delaware-DC Water Science Center discussing application of the
NHDPlus to regional- and national-scale water-quality modeling in the NAWQA
program.  There will also be lightning talks by William Samuels of Leidos
on the Gold King Mine spill in Colorado, and Elizabeth Zeiler of New Mexico
Environment Department on the case for 3DEP/NHD integration.


Connections are limited, and you will need to register to attend these
seminars.  Please visit

instructions for joining the meeting.
