5522 Research Park Drive

Don't miss this great opportunity to network with two local organizations, The Greater Catonville Chamber of Commerce and the Arbutus Business and Professional Association.

The U.S. Geological Survey Water Science Center at the UMBC Research and Tecnology Park will host this networking event. Come learn interesting facts about this amazing facility.

Scientists at the USGS Center are dedicated to long-term monitoring of the region’s streams, rivers and aquifers to better understand the balance between nature and humans across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. They use a network of about 150 high- and low-tech gages across the region to monitor a vast array of water data. In addition to helping keep the Bay healthy, USGS research helps partners like the National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency predict flash-floods and monitor flood prone areas.

The evening will also be highlighted by the the Chamber's Green Committee giving a presentation on Business Recycling and the results of the Chamber's commercial recycling survey.
