Training Courses, Workshops, and Lectures
The Toxic Substances Hydrology (Toxics) Program offers courses and workshops as part of its technology transfer
activities. Many of the training courses and workshops are designed to make specific beneficiaries aware of and able to
utilize products developed to address their problems. Awarded lecture series are often granted to USGS scientists to
enable dissemination of current findings on important issues.
