Recent accomplishments and events for the EGSC Team
 USGS Public Lecture Series: EGSC's John Jones gave the first USGS public lecture as part of a new series to communicate science in action. A video of his talk, Knee-high to Bird's Eye: Multi-scale Remote Sensing of Vegetation Dynamics, is now available at the USGS Multimedia Gallery.
Sally Ride Festival: Allison Paraham and Juan Rivera-Santiago of the EGSC represented the USGS at the Sally Ride Science Festival that was held at George Mason University on one of those very hot Saturdays in April. Paraham and Rivera-Santiago talked about careers in science, at the USGS. The audience was estimated to be between 400-500 girls 5th-8th grade girls, parents, and teachers.

Lee De Cola, Ph. D
Lee De Cola has worked as a research physical scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey for 20 years and describes himself as “smart, humorous, and skeptical.” He has degrees in Mathematics, Urban Planning, and earned his Ph. D. in Geography while living in Africa.
Before working at USGS, De Cola lived in Nigeria for six years where he taught at the Department of Political Science at the University of Ibadan. Since lecturing was the only way for his students to collect notes, as books were too expensive, De Cola wrote a book, Data and Information, which primarily deals with how to convert numbers into information.
