oping academic programs in earth-science research. The seminar included hands-on training in the Global Positioning System (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and CD-ROM applications.

Another highlight of the year's activities was a 1-week hydrology training class on basic ground-water concepts, the hydrologic cycle, surface-water data collection and computation, and an introduction to the USGS that was presented as part of a 6-week water resources technician training program sponsored by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for Native American youth in Las Cruces, N. Mex. Other examples of interactions with HBCU and HACU schools in FY 1993 include:

• Langston University, Langston, Okla.: Provided funding to support a guest lecture series on computer-applied hydrology.

• Gateway Community College, Phoenix, Ariz.: Provided funding for a new hydrologic technician curriculum that will prepare students for future employment opportunities in field offices in New Mexico and Arizona.

Elizabeth City State University, Elizabeth City, N.C.: Participated in a college career fair and promoted student employment opportunities, participated

in an earth-science lecture series, and worked with faculty members to develop new projects.

⚫ Hampton University, Hampton, Va.: Participated in career fairs, continued to promote student employment opportunities, established a computer network on campus, and continued to train students in computer systems maintenance.

Fort Valley State College, Fort Valley, Ga.: Began a consortium relationship with Fort Valley, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and the University of Oklahoma in support of minority students who are studying civil engineering and geophysical sciences and hired three students for summer employment.

• Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo.: Established a memorandum of understanding to provide training to increase the number of qualified candidates available for computer science and information systems positions in the USGS.

• Southern University, Baton Rouge, La.: Provided support for minority students through Stay-in-School and other student employment opportunities. The Louisiana field office in Baton Rouge became a "training district" for Southern students, allowing them to complete procurement, training, and travel-related work in the administrative office.

Budget Information

year

ooperative agreements with more than 1,000 Federal, State, and local agencies and the academic community supAport a large share of research and investigations. In fiscal year 1993, the USGS had obligational authority for $862 million, $582.8 million of which came from direct appropriations, $6.7 million from estimated receipts from map sales, and $272.7 million from reimbursements. The USGS was reimbursed for work performed for other Federal, State, and local agencies whose needs for earth-science expertise complement USGS program objectives. Work for State, county, and municipal agencies is most often conducted on a cost-sharing basis.
