The data lifecycle for a majority of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Major and Mid-scale Facilities starts with data acquisition and capture from scientific instrument(s), e.g. telescopes, sensors, field devices, spectrometers, accelerators, interferometers, magnets, lasers, to name a few. Quite often, the data acquisition step and the associated data management practices at the facility to capture this initial data dictate the effectiveness of the latter parts of the data lifecycle. This virtual workshop, organized by the NSF CI Compass, the Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence...
NEON's Samantha Weintraub-Leff will attend and present at the annual user meeting of the Molecular Observation Network program, run by DOE's Pacific Northwest National Lab. Learn more at the conference webpage MONet is a NEON partner. Their goal is to provide standardized molecular data from soils using advanced chemical, biological, and imaging techniques. They have sampled at NEON sites with a goal to pair high-resolution molecular datasets with the wealth of other data provided by NEON.
Through the annual Environmental Data Science (EDS) summit, NCEAS brings 100 environmental data science community members to Santa Barbara, CA for a two and a half day "un-conference" event. Funding (including travel, fees, and lodging) is covered for up to 60 participants. Attendance is open to EDS practitioners from any sector, discipline, background, or career stage. The 2025 summit will be focused on the "future of AI in conservation and management". The major question that will be addressed at the summit is "What are the opportunities and risks of using AI to inform (or transform) our...
Join Douglas Morton and Elijah Orland of the University of Maryland and NASA on February 11, 2025 for their talk, "Ecosystem impacts from extreme fire events: Insights from satellite-based fire tracking." 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 diverse and inclusive researcher community Showcase and catalyze partnerships Amplify resources and tools that enable cross-scale...
The 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting - "Science Shaping Tomorrow" - will be held Feb 13-15 in Boston, MA. NEON's Paula Mabee (Director) and Kate Thibault (Science Lead) will moderate a panel: Monitoring Diverse Ecosystems Over Time: Shared Data and Future Projections Synopsis: Global ecosystems are continuing to change dramatically in the face of climate and other anthropogenic stressors, impacting the societal services they provide. While the urgency to understand the drivers and consequences of change is increasing, so is the pace and potential of the research being done on diverse ecosystems. Long...
