More on Gus’ presentation:
Effective communication of technical information is a vital skill for water industry professionals in both public and private sectors. Most project deliverables include a written technical memo or report, which can range from a couple to several thousand pages depending on the nature of the project. In addition to written deliverables, technical staff are often required to present project updates and/or conclusions to clients, public agency boards, stakeholders, and other water industry professionals. This course will cover the following:
- General approaches to technical writing
- Organizing technical documents
- Preparing technical presentation
- Delivering technical presentation to variety of audiences
Dr. Tolley specializes in groundwater hydrology, numerical modeling, database management systems, groundwater resources, groundwater-surface water interactions, contaminant transport in groundwater, and geographic information systems (GIS) mapping.
