2020 Virtual ESA Meeting

We're excited to join you at this year's Ecological Society of America (ESA) Annual Meeting that will be held entirely online. There will be over 30 NEON-related events at ESA 2020. Due to this year’s virtual format many of the events will consist of a recorded presentation that can be accessed anytime during the meeting and a 30-minute virtual live Q&A session with a NEON scientist.

NEON-led Events at ESA

As events are rescheduled to the online platform and more NEON-related events are announced we will update this list. This list was last updated on July 13, 2020.
