[LTER-investigators] NEON Science Summit - apply to attend

[Megan Cattau]

Dear LTER PIs and Education Reps,


Earth Lab will be hosting the *NEON Science Summit* in Boulder,
Colorado on *October
15-17, 2019*. If you or anyone on your team are interested in how NEON
might intersect with work at your LTER site(s), I want to encourage you to
apply to come!


This meeting will convene current and prospective users of data from the
National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to explore major questions
that can be addressed at continental scales. At this workshop you will
further your understanding of NEON data products and their potential use,
build a network of NEON data users, and help drive questions in ecology and
environmental science. This meeting will be conducted in an ‘unconference
style’ which is an alternative means of organizing meetings that allows
participants to drive the agenda, creating substantial freedom in themes
and approaches. Example themes include identifying plant species from space
using NEON’s airborne observing platform data, exploring patterns of
biodiversity across the U.S., tracking how climate change is affecting
stream hydrology, and understanding nutrient cycling in forests at
continental scales. The unconference will initiate new collaborative
working groups that take research ideas beyond the scope of the Summit.

*Please submit your application* *by July 22nd (travel support is available
for a limited number of participants)*:

Please distribute widely and encourage other folks to apply!

Best wishes,
Megan Cattau
