Welcome to the first issue of SOFIA News! SOFIA News is a bimonthly email update of new postings on the USGS South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) website. This update will include announcements of new publications and data sets, notification of upcoming meetings, as well as other related information. Our first issue contains a listing of items that have been posted in the last few months; future mailings will include items that were posted in the previous two months.

If you have any questions about any of these publications or about SOFIA News, please feel free to contact me, Heather Henkel, at hhenkel@usgs.gov. In addition, if you would prefer to receive a text version of SOFIA News (instead of an html version), send an email to hhenkel@usgs.gov and we will change that for you.
