Sandra Henderson, Director of Citizen Science at NEON, will be honored this week at the White House as a Champion of Change for her work on NEON's Project BudBurst and related citizen science activities.
Across the country, ordinary Americans are doing extraordinary things, and the White House Champions of Change program aims to identify and recognize those people, who are "winning the future" in their communities.
NEON, NASA, Researchers Team Up for Satellite Mission Science
The NEON Airborne Observation Platform team and a crowd of researchers from several different U.S. institutions joined forces in the Sierra Nevada and San Joaquin Valley in mid-June 2013 for an intense bout of collaborative data gathering on the ground and in the air. Their efforts were part of the NASA Hyperspectral Infrared Imaging (HyspIRI) Airborne Campaign, a two-year effort to demonstrate the utility and feasibility of the proposed HyspIRI satellite mission.
Planning a study that involves placing your sensors on NEON towers or coordinating your field sampling with NEON data collection? In addition to data, NEON will make research infrastructure available for the research community to use. While our official data portal and our policy for deploying physical assets like mobile platforms and airborne instruments are not yet complete, we have posted interim guidelines to help us record and handle your requests to use NEON resources.
NEON and CSU collaborate on unprecedented study of destructive Colorado wildfire
One year after the devastating High Park Fire, the National Science Foundation has released a video documenting the first round of airborne and ground-based data collection for the High Park Fire project. The project, funded by National Science Foundation RAPID grants, is a collaboration between Colorado State University (CSU) Researchers and NEON on a large-scale study of one of the largest and most destructive wildfires in Colorado history.
NEON and Australian counterpart commit to collaboration, interoperability
NEON and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-May 2013. The MOU is a written agreement to foster collaboration and interoperability between TERN and NEON on core network elements such as delineation of science requirements, measurements and sampling protocols; data products; informatics; science and education programs and project management.
