NEON is participating in this workshop, which will evaluate the combined value of observations from large networks and emerging approaches in earth system modeling.

This workshop will overview three key data formats: ASCII, HDF5 and las and several key data types including temperature data from a tower, vegetation structure data, hyperspectral imagery and lidar data, that are often encountered when working with ‘Big Data’.

This workshop is co-located with the American Geophysical Union meeting.

This workshop will offer ecologists an overview of the variety of data formats and types that are typically encountered when working with 'Big Data', and an introduction to available tools in R for working with these formats.

NEON will host a workshop focused on scaling of ecological data from small scales to the continental scale.
