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.

Articles are based on current activities in the Science and Technical Support Section’s work program.  Past SciFYI newsletters are rich in science and you can find them in our archived newsletters. Individual articles are published in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format and authors cited.
