Small Drops, Big Impact: Building Skills Through Micro-Training
Tuesday July 21, 2026 3:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
Traditional trainings often ask for more time than teams can spare. Micro-trainings are a practical alternative: short, focused learning sessions that build skills quickly. In this interactive session, participants will explore strategies for moving beyond one-way lectures by incorporating clear objectives, practical examples, and active learning in brief training formats. Through modeled activities and hands-on practice, participants will leave confident in facilitating short trainings that are effective, efficient, engaging, and immediately useful in the field, office, or lab. Whether mentoring a new hire, reinforcing procedures, or sharing updates, participants will gain instructional techniques that they can use right away,

Satellite Data to Support Water Science Center Operations
Thursday July 23, 2026 10:00am - 11:20am CDT
In this presentation, students will learn to access, view, analyze, and interpret satellite data for use in hydrologic monitoring. Participants will leave being able to easily access data useful for station planning and monitoring, specifically: (1) access and interpret water extent data (DSWE), (2) access and interpret water surface elevation data (SWOT), and (3) access and interpret remotely sensed water quality data (RSWQ), (4) access and query evapotranspiration data, and (5) view daily high-resolution satellite imagery (PLANET). Example applications include:

- Situational awareness to improve site visit safety and efficiency
- Viewing current conditions to support site visit planning
- Analyzing historical data to put current observations into context when working records
- Providing cooperators with easily accessed data during network planning discussions
