\*The St. Petersburg naming convention is as follows: YYPRJ##, where YY
is a 2 digit abbreviation for the calendar year the data were collected,
PRJ is a 3 letter acronym for the project, task or theme the data were
collected under and \## is a sequential number for each field activity
under that PRJ for that calendar year. If a project already has adopted
a standardized unique and meaningful field activity naming convention,
there are ways to incorporate it into the system. Please caution against
using strictly geographic specific PRJs. We strongly suggest using
topical ones instead, since locations may be revisited for various
purposes during a field season. Arnell Harrison
([aharrison@usgs.gov]{.underline} x3111) will coordinate assigning these
Field Activity Ids with input from the PIs or project data managers.
