style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a $430
million dollar observatory project dedicated to
understanding how changes in climate, land use and invasive
species impact ecology. For the next three decades NEON will
collect a comprehensive range of ecological data on a
continental scale across 20 eco-climatic domains
representing US ecosystems. NEON will use cutting edge
technology including an airborne observation platform that
will capture images of regional landscapes and vegetation;
mobile, re-locatable, and fixed data collection sites with
automated ground sensors to monitor soil and atmosphere; and
trained field crews who will observe and sample populations
of diverse organisms and collect soil and water data. A
leading edge cyber-infrastructure will calibrate, store and
publish this information. The Observatory will grow to 300+
personnel and will be the first of its kind designed to
detect and enable forecasting of ecological change at
continental scales.</p>
