NEON Program

DEADLINE TODAY! NEON seeks applications to join a NEON Technical Working Group! Specifically we seek experts in: Atmospheric Deposition, Atmospheric Stable Isotopes, Mosquitos, Site Management and Disturbance, and Surface Atmosphere Exchange. NEON relies upon input from more than 20 Technical Working Groups (TWGs), which play an important role by providing input to NEON’s data collection and processing methods and help ensure that NEON infrastructure, data, and programs are a valuable community resource. Submit a nomination today!

The NEON Mosquito Technical Working Group seeks applicants! Nominate yourself or a colleague to advise on RNA sequencing / mosquito viromes as we move into a new pathogen analysis framework. Nominations due Oct 11! Learn more and find the application here:

Join us TOMORROW, October 8 for another NEON Science Seminar! Ben Weinstein of the University of Florida will discuss "Harnessing NEON to enable the future of forest remote sensing."

Happy #WorldRiversDay! Did you know that NEON has 3 river sites, all found in the southeast U.S.? The Tombigbee River (TOMB) and Black Warrior River (BLWA) can be found in Alabama in Domain 08 and the Flint River (FLNT) is found in Georgia as part of Domain 03. NEON rivers are navigable by boat and have buoys similar to the NEON lake sites. Here are some quick facts about these sites: TOMB (pictures 1-3): This field site is in the Lower Tombigbee River, south of the confluence with the Black Warrior River and north of the Mobile River Basin, a biodiversity hotspot. TOMB is home to NEON's only coastal-style buoy, designed to withstand high flows during flood season. BLWA (pictures 4-5): This river, located in the Southeastern Coastal Plain, hosts a series of locks and dams that reduce the flow and create lentic environments in the river. The river is located in Alabama's "Blackbelt" which was originally named for nutrient-rich, dark soil. FLNT: The FLNT field site is found within the Jones Center at Ichauway in the Piedmont Lowlands of Georgia. The Flint River runs through areas of karst topography which significantly impacts the movement of groundwater in the area.

BONA field site appreciation post! 🌲 🦟 As the core terrestrial site in Domain 19, field staff in Alaska get to spend lots of time at BONA. The site is a rich mosaic of habitats, including dry birch forests teeming with grouse and lowbush cranberries, black spruce bogs enrobed in plush carpets of sphagnum moss, and thick tangles of young aspen revegetating old burns. The site is located within the Bonanza Creek LTER, an area managed for scientific study by the University of Alaska, and is the ancestral homeland of the Tanana Dene people. Wolves, beavers, ermine, porcupines, grizzlies, and red-backed voles are just some of the creatures that call BONA home. Trailside snacks include cloudberries, blueberries, and bog cranberries...from outside the NEON plots of course! While you may not be able to plan an impromptu trip to Alaska this fall, using data collected from our BONA site could be the next best thing.
