USGS Public Lecture Series (Virtual)
The Evening Public Lecture Series was established in 1990 to provide USGS scientists with a forum for providing the public with current information about USGS research through a series of monthly talks featuring recent developments in the disciplines of biology, geography, geology, and water resources. Our ongoing goal continues to be creating a better understanding of the importance and value of science for a changing world.
