1:00pm CDT

Train-the-Trainer Short Course
Monday July 15, 2024 1:00pm - 5:00pm CDT
This workshop is a compact version of a previously offered series designed to serve USGS employees aimed at improving training effectiveness in their centers and offices. Participants will learn best practices in adult learning and apply them to training scenarios in their individual work environments. There will be an opportunity for large and smaller group conversations to process the materials and to encourage collaborating and sharing resources.

1:00pm CDT

Developing and Contributing to AQS+ DSET applications and packages
Tuesday July 16, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT
The Discrete Samples Extensibility Tools (DSET) were developed to help USGS AQUARIUS Samples users with various data needs beyond the AQS user interface. The DSET suite of R-packages and Shiny web applications, such the Batch Data Loader (BDL), Water Quality Review (WQR), and the packages that support them, were designed to incorporate future development from the user community. In the past, WSCs have developed local tools that complimented their review process in WQ-Review; however, these scripts, modules, and tools were not widely distributed to the greater user community. With the release of AQS and DSET, we encourage those developers who have great ideas for enhancing DSET to build upon the tools and incorporate those enhancements through a process that results in wider release to the user community. This course will cover the basic structure of the DSET code repositories and a workflow for developing and submitting enhancements.

NuGo2 Release Update and Training
Thursday July 18, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT
NuGo2 is ready for release! NuGo2 replaces legacy Go2, which will be decommissioned, to alert hydrographers and data managers about potential site issues and the need for site visits. This session will give an update and overview of functionality in NuGo2 followed by a training on setting up configurations. NuGo2 is a modernized version of Go2 with improved code, centralized and supported infrastructure, and broad accessibility. NuGo2 is implemented on a national level, making it available to all WSCs and supportive of broad scale diagnostics and situational awareness. NuGo2 accesses all telemetry methods, incorporates different data sources, centralizes configurations, and allows for customization including flexible parameter selection.
