Again, since the group just met for the first time on a topic that is not the primary focus of most participant's research, no publications were submitted this year. As our committee matures and collaboratively undertakes a number of tasks, we anticipate a variety of publications in the near future. Two publications prepared by members of the WERA1012 committee but prior to the formation of the group are of particular utility at this early stage. They are:
Doesken, Nolan. "Let it Rain." Weatherwise July-August 2007: 50-55.
Elizabeth Herron, Linda Green, and Kris Stepenuck. "Volunteer Management and Support." Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring. 01 JUL 2008. USDA National Facilitation of CSREES Volunteer Monitoring Efforts Website, Web.

None in the current year.
