April 2010 issue
SciFYI Newsletter

The Science and Technical Support Section newsletters are designed to increase awareness of the Section’s programs, staff expertise, services, current and emerging issues including changing conditions.

The section’s intent and purpose is to promote the use and understanding of our scientific data and information and to educate and share knowledge on the “value and benefits” of Environmental Sciences.

All articles are based on activities that are currently in the Science and Technical Support Section’s work program.
