The DGS is again hosting a research symposium with presentations on Delaware Geology. This meeting is targeting geoscience professionals as well as planners, engineers, and others that use geologic data. Documentation for PG credits will be available for those attending.
The 16th annual National Groundwater Awareness Week will take place March 9-15, 2014.
