  1. The problem with data….#1: Different measurement suites

  2. The problem with data….#2: Different spatial extents

  3. The problem with data….#3: Different temporal extents

  4. The problem with data….#4: Different temporal sampling frequencies

  5. The problem with data….#5: Different data access methods

  6. The problem with data….#6: Differences in measurement methods

  7. The problem with data….Combinations of the above! • Finding and manipulating data takes much, much, much, much, longer than expected!!! • How do we address questions at larger scales if it’s hard to do so at a (large) watershed scale? • Especially important given the size of the human footprint on the planetary system.

  8. Life in a Time of Planetary Change Environments are changing rapidly in novel and unexpected ways

  9. The greenhouse gas-ecosystem metabolism feedback loop Biological Drivers of Climate Change: A story about the Arctic The snow – albedo feedback loop Increases in temperature Decreases in snow cover Increases in greenhouse gases Increase in heat absorption Decreases in albedo Increases in growing season length More CO2 released to the atmosphere than sequestered as plant growth Decreases in temperature More CO2 sequestered as plant growth than released to the atmosphere

  10. There exists an ecosystem of Federal environmental observatories (EOs) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Smithsonian Global Earth Observatory (SIGEO) National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and Ranges Climate Reference Network (CRN)

  11. NEON Goal The goal of NEON is to enableunderstanding and forecasting of the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive specieson continental-scaleecology by providing infrastructure to support research, education and environmental management in these areas.

  12. NEON: A Continental Scale Observatory

  13. Overview

  14. Overview

  15. Overview

  16. A National Observatory: 20 Eco-climatic Domains

  17. From Data to Information

  20. Airborne Observation Platform • Airborne Observing Platforms: • ( 3 generating ~40 TB data/yr) • Hyperspectral Spectrometers, waveform LiDAR systems, High precision cameras • Facility for optical calibration and maintenance

  21. Airborne Remote Sensing (AOP) • Spectroscopy • Vegetation biochemical & biophysical properties • Cover type & fraction • LiDAR altimetry • Vegetation structure • Sub-canopy topography • Biomass • High resolution imagery • Land use & land cover
