3. Key Progress - Summary • Proposals: • Research Coordination Network (RCN) proposal funded by NSF • PRIME proposal submitted to NSF (funding for students to work on GLEON) • GLEON Response to NEON RFI: Submitted • Meetings: • Attended AGU (Fountain, Weathers) • Planned SIL Special Session (Kratz others) • Science • Diel Oxygen • Autoscaling: • Parallel system partial deployed • Developments in streaming data • Metadata and controlled vocabulary • Lake Sunapee: • Steps to deploy technology • GLEON Web Site • Progress on Lake Directory • New Design (yet to be implemented) • Other

4. What is the “Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network?” A grassroots network of People: lake scientists, engineers, information technology experts Institutions: universities, national laboratories, agencies Programs: PRAGMA, AS-Forest Biogeochemistry,US-LTER, TERN, KING, EcoGrid, etc. Instruments Data Linked by a common purpose and cyberinfrastructure With a goal of understanding lake dynamics at local, regional, continental, and global scales

5. Driving Rationale for GLEON Predict lake ecosystem responses to natural and anthropogenic mediated events • Build an international multi-disciplinary community of researchers to advance lake science through development of a global lake ecological observatory network (GLEON) • Develop new scientific insightsand paradigms through a global network of sensored lakes • Better integrate aquatic science with information technology and sensor development.

10. US GLEON Team Response to NEON Request for Information • How do changes in climate, land-use, and invasive species alter lake metabolism and consequently ecosystem services through biogeochemical, biodiversity, and hydroecological responses? • Climate change alters lake metabolism and phenology by altering dissolved organic matter (DOM) loading, thermal structure, and extent of anoxia. • Changes in land use alter lake metabolism by changing nutrient, contaminant, sediment, and DOM loading. • Invasive species alter lake metabolism by changing plankton community structure and biomass and hence water transparency. available on gleon.org

12. Nordic Supplement Update • Funding for Meeting and Students • Make linkages between • US and Nordic Countries • Limnology and IT • Sensor for Microbes: Autonomous Microbial Genosensors (AMG) • Key People • Trina McMahon • Thorsten Bleckner • Stefan Bertilsson • Eva Lindstrom • David Fries

13. The Current Model Portable Lake Metabolism Buoy North Temperate Lakes LTER Wisconsin • Instrumented Platforms • make high frequency observations of key variables • send data to web-accessible database in near real time

14. Scalable instrumentation and cyberfrastructure is critical We can do this scale now http://lakemetabolism.org

15. Problematic, but possible with today’s cyberinfrastructure

16. Not currently possible Scale needed to answer regional/continental questions

17. Addressing the Scaling ChallengeNSF NEON Award • Collaborative Research: Automating Scaling and Data Processing in a Network of Sensors: Towards a Global Network for Lake Metabolism Research and Education • UCSD, UWI, IU, SUNY-BU • Automate • Instrument management • QA/QC and Event Detection • Modeling and analysis • Streaming Data Architecture • Web Services, workflows, portals • Streaming data middleware • Common software roll • Broaden Involvement of Students
