Details

The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides open ecological data from 81 field sites across the United States. NEON data cover a wide range of subject areas within ecology, including organismal observations, biogeochemistry, remote sensing, and micrometeorology. Many datasets already span several years of data collection. In addition to open data, NEON also provides many resources that support land managers, researchers and educators, including sampling protocols, data skills training, and classroom-ready lesson plans. This workshop will provide an introduction to resources for access and working with a variety of NEON data for your research or curriculum, as well as an overview of the NEON Data Portal. Additionally, it will showcase case studies of researchers using NEON data, and connect you to our extended networks of ecology professionals.
