From collecting native plant seeds in Alaska's Denali National Park to digging for fossils in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, the U.S. Geological Survey offers hundreds of volunteer opportunities to those wanting to donate time to natural science. With more than 400 research centers across the country, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors volcanoes, earthquakes, glacier melting, soil contamination, oil reserves levels and water quality in groundwater, rivers and lakes across the country. A bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the USGS employs 10,000 scientists and support staff who study the topography of the U.S, its natural resources and environmental hazards like earthquakes, wildfires, floods and climate change. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, the agency was created by an act of Congress in 1879 to inventory the vast lands acquired by the U.S. Its scientists work in all 50 U.S. Lakewood, Colo. and Menlo Park, Calif. For volunteers, the USGS offers dozens, if not hundreds of opportunities to help the scientists perform their research.

In some cases, you even get a free USGS hat. Read on to learn how to become part of the USGS's National Maps Corps. Joining the USGS's National Map Corps is a good place to start. Originally founded as the Earth Science Corps, the National Map Corps is a group of volunteers who use GPS receivers to get latitude and longitude coordinates for structures in their communities. Those structures include hospitals, airports, universities, fire stations, churches, water towers and landmark buildings. In July 2008, the USGS announced it was suspending the National Maps Corps for budgetary reasons until the agency could evaluate how best to use volunteers to continue creating the National Map. Since then, the USGS has stopped accepting volunteer applications until it is finished evaluating how to restructure the program. After filling out a registration form, volunteers can type in the names and locations of high schools, courthouses, railroad stations and radio towers into the Web program for consideration of being incorporated into The National Map.

All that's required is an internet connection and a knowledge of your area. Read on to find out more ways to volunteer for the USGS. An amateur geologist? Aspiring astrologist? Well then, you've come to the right place. The USGS offers hundreds of opportunities in almost every U.S. The listings include the dates of service, difficulty level, contact information and a link to applying online. There are opportunities for all ages, from children to senior citizens. Fancy yourself a bird watcher? Love gazing at the stars? Fancy yourself Rachel Ray? Some volunteer programs require a resume, references and a background check. For more information on volunteering at the U.S. Geological Survey, see the links on the next page. You might even be able to secure federal sponsorship money for your time with the U.S. Geological Society. The government sometimes provides funding for individuals with special skills that will prove helpful to scientific preservation and research institutes.

For the synchronous API, an on-demand lazy evaluation implementation strategy is encouraged instead, for better performance.SQLResultSetRowList objects have a length attribute that must return the number of rows it represents (the number of rows returned by the database). This is the length.Fetching the length might be expensive, and authors are thus encouraged to avoid using it (or enumerating over the object, which implicitly uses it) where possible.The object's supported property indices are the numbers in the range zero to length-1, unless the length is zero, in which case there are no supported property indices.The item(index) attribute must return the row with the given index index. If there is no such row, then the method must return null.Each row must be represented by a native ordered dictionary data type. In the JavaScript binding, this must be Object. Each row object must have one property (or dictionary entry) per column, with those properties enumerating in the order that these columns were returned by the database.
