Join us for an intensive three-day, hands-on, remote workshop and learn how to create, use, deploy, and share analyses of NEON AOP data using the CyVerse platform.
This workshop will provide an introduction to discovering, accessing and preparing a variety of NEON data for your research, primarily using R. The workshop will be divided into two sections of roughly equal length.
This workshop, taught by faculty who use NEON and other data in their classrooms and by NEON educators, is designed to provide faculty with information and resources to bring real-world, ecological data into their classroom. NEON offers a variety of open ecological data from over 80 field sites across the United States with data applicable to a wide range of ecological subject areas, including microbes, organismal observations, biogeochemistry, remote sensing and micrometeorology.
Instruction will include an overview of the breadth of available NEON AIS data and data product naming conventions, before jumping using the neonUtilities R package to access NEON AIS data. Participants will then learn how to interpret NEON data by referencing metadata records and standardized quality flags. In the final portion of the workshop, participants will be able to explore the individual AIS data products of interest to their research while NEON staff are on hand to address specific questions.
NEON will be hosting a 3-hour virtual workshop on accessing and using NEON biodiversity data for the 2020 Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) Summer of Science. ​​​​​​​Instruction will include an overview of the breadth of NEON biodiversity data before providing code-along with instruction on how to retrieve and convert NEON biodiversity data to standardized formats.
The NSF sponsored joint NCAR/NEON workshop, Predicting life in the Earth system � linking the geosciences and ecology, is an opportunity to bring together members of the atmospheric science and ecological communities to advance the capability of Earth system prediction to include terrestrial ecosystems and biological resources. The workshop’s overarching theme will focus on convergent research between the geosciences and ecology for ecological forecasting and prediction at subseasonal to seasonal, seasonal to decadal, and centennial timescales, including use of observations, required data services infrastructure, and models.
ENONE will be holding a virtual Explore NEON workshop for the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. This workshop includes instruction on how to access and use NEON data.
With the transition of AAG 2020 to a virtual meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Access and Work with Open, Continental-Scale Data from NEON workshop will also be virtual. Participants will get an introduction to accessing and using NEON data in this workshop.
The National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Ecological Forecasting Initiative Research Coordination Network (EFI-RCN) project, in partnership with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), are hosting a virtual workshop focused on ecological forecasting using NEON data from May 12-13, 2020.
The Ecological Society of America’s SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability) program, in partnership with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), invites graduate students from underrepresented experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds to attend an interactive workshop in autumn 2021 to develop key ecological data science skills and to discover ways to use NEON data.
