Science Seminars
NEON is organizing a monthly seminar series, with the overarching goal to build community among researchers at the intersection of ecology, environmental science, and NEON. Specifically, the series will:
- Highlight new findings and frontiers of ecology and NEON science
- Build a robust and active researcher community
- Showcase and catalyze partnerships
- Amplify resources and tools that enable cross-scale ecological research
You can nominate yourself or a colleague to give a future talk in the seminar series!
