Wildfires and the prescribed burns designed to prevent them, require spot forecasts produced by forecasters. Producing such site-specific forecasts that are tailored to the needs of the fire-related incident is essential for successful Impact-based Decision...
One of the primary functions of the Water Resources Mission Area of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is to collect hydrologic data. This lesson simulates a routine USGS groundwater site visit. The learner will practice monitoring and servicing equipment,...
This 1-hour lesson begins with a brief overview on the importance of performing proper calibration checks to ensure accurate water-quality data measurements. The learner takes on the role of a hydrologic technician learning how to inspect a field meter so...
This 20-minute lesson begins with an introduction to Jack, a fellow hydrologic technician conducting a fouling check during his continuous site visit. The learner will review Jack’s recorded water-quality readings in the Site Visit Mobile Aquarius (SVMAQ),...
We offer many ways to locate training that's relevant to you. Browse by topic area, skill level, or use our search tool. Additionally, we have an extensive image library — a great resource for educators and trainers — accessible by using the search feature.
Courses are collections of lessons pertaining to a specific topic area. Enroll in a course and track your progress. When you've finished, you can send the results to your professor or supervisor.
Research indicates that learners who answer follow-up questions over time retain more of what they learned during training. Booster questions take minutes to complete and come directly to your inbox. You can subscribe to receive them after successfully completing the quiz for a module.
