[Acoustics] TRAINING - Reminder about October and November classes

[Kevin Oberg]

Earlier this month, the USGS Office of Surface Water announced the 
schedule for hydroacoustics training for 2006 (see 
http://hydroacoustics.usgs.gov/training/schedule_2004.html ).  This 
email is a reminder that enrollment for classes being held in October 
and November should be completed soon.

The training class, Streamflow Measurements using ADCPs, will be held 
from October 17-21, 2005 in Louisville, KY.  If there is sufficient 
interest, this class will cover ADCPs made by RD Instruments and 
SonTek/YSI.  At present, 8 persons from USGS and 4 from other 
agencies have been nominated for the class.  A minimum of 12 USGS 
personnel are required in order for the class to be 
held.  Nominations should be completed by September 28.  In order to 
nominate someone to attend the class, please go to 
http://simon.er.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/rgs/index.cgi?session_id=76&to=register. 
If you have questions about this class, please contact David Mueller 
via email (dmueller at usgs.gov) or phone (502-493-1935).

The training class, ADCP Refresher and StreamPro Data Collection and 
Review will be held from November 7-10, 2005 in Raleigh, NC.  A 
minimum of 12 USGS personnel are required in order for the class to 
be held.  Nominations should be completed by October 14.  In order to 
nominate someone to attend the class, please go to 
http://simon.er.usgs.gov/cgi-bin/rgs/index.cgi?session_id=77&to=register. 
If you have questions about this class, please contact Kevin Oberg 
via email (kaoberg at usgs.gov) or phone (217-344-0037 x.3004)

In addition, please refer to the general announcement concerning 2006 
hydroacoustics training at 
http://simon.er.usgs.gov/pipermail/acoustics/2005q3/001741.html. 
Please remember that entering an individual in the USGS NTC Training 
Management System (TMS) DOES NOT nominate them for these classes. You 
MUST follow the instructions in the email at 
http://simon.er.usgs.gov/pipermail/acoustics/2005q3/001741.html to 
nominate students for these classes. Likewise, nominating someone for 
this class using these instructions DOES NOT enter them into 
TMS.  Once you have completed the nomination via the hydroacoustics 
pages, you also need to enter the course into TMS, as TMS is the 
official process for obligating and recording all individual and 
group USGS training.
