Participants in this workshop will explore how to directly access the full NEON database to get the data they want for use in the classroom. Participants will also explore already curated teaching data subsets that are available for download and classroom use.
Through participation in this workshop, full-time field ecologists on the NEON project will improve their ability to work with the local scientific community (site hosts, local researchers, and other potential NEON data users) by increasing their knowledge of the online resources available from NEON and the skills needed to access NEON data.

In this workshop session, we will explore open educational resources that use NEON data, as well as use the NEON data portal to directly access NEON data of interest with a discussion of considerations for using the NEON portal and data with students.
We will explore these NEON Surface Atmosphere Exchange resources and solicit input to guide development of NEON SAE community resources for 2019. Additionally, the workshop offers hands-on tutorials utilizing eddy4R vignettes in a cloud-computing environment.
Learn to work with repeat-photography images to study landscape changes. This workshop is a joint effort between the PhenoCam network and the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to share recently developed tools facilitating access to, and analysis of, camera imagery and higher-order data products available through PhenoCam.
Participants will leave this session with the tools and comfort level to discover and access data from the NEON data portal and to be aware of and able to use the open educational resources available from NEON.
This workshop will provide an introduction to discovering, accessing and preparing a variety of NEON data for your research, primarily using R. The workshop will be divided into two sections of roughly equal length.
NEON provides open ecological data from 81 sites across the United States, covering a wide range of subject areas, including organismal observations, biogeochemistry, and remote sensing. Surface-atmosphere exchange data are collected at all 47 terrestrial NEON sites, enabling analysis and synthesis both within and across sites.
This workshop will provide an introduction to data access via the Data Portal and the API, and to working with NEON flux data using the neonUtilities R package.
