Science Seminar: "From Microbes to the Atmosphere: Research Across Scales from NEON Ambassadors"

Join us on September 9, 2025 for a talk, "From Microbes to the Atmosphere: Research Across Scales from NEON Ambassadors." 

Speakers for this talk: 

• Alexi Besser, Arizona State University - "Diel variation in the composition and diversity of a dryland aeromicrobiome"
• Reid Longley, North Carolina State University - "Detection of Ultrasmall Prokaryotes in New Mexican Soils and Public Metagenome Sequencing Data"
• Yujie Liu, Northern Arizona University - "Evaluating the continuity of NEON and AmeriFlux data streams recorded at collocated sites from tundra to subtropics"
• Kit Lewers, University of Colorado, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center - "Integrating Remotely Sensed Data with GBIF Mediated Data: NEON AOP and NEON Repository"

The goal of the NEON monthly science seminar series is to build community among researchers at the intersection of ecology, environmental science, and NEON. Specifically, presentations will: 

• Highlight new findings and frontiers of ecology and NEON science
• Build a robust and active researcher community
• Showcase and catalyze partnerships
• Amplify resources and tools that enable cross-scale ecological research 

All talks are 12-1 pm MT. Find the schedule of speakers for Fall 2025 on the Science Seminars webpage. 

Each NEON Science Seminar in the series provides 0.25 continuing education units from the Ecological Society of America's Board of Professional Certification. Visit https://www.esa.org/certification/ to learn more about this program.
