Environmental Observatory Programs Consider Modeling Issues

Ten NEON representatives were among 63 participants at a Modeling and Environmental Observatories Workshop held May 16-17, 2006, in Tuscon, Arizona. The event focused on cross-cutting modeling issues relevant to NSF's environmental observatory programs, including the three major MREFC observatory initiatives (NEON, OOI, and the WATERS Network). Workshop attendees made presentations on a variety of modeling approaches, explored models as educational tools, discussed connections between modeling and cyberinfrastructure activities, and addressed management issues. The workshop also helped to establish links between NSF and modeling groups in federal agencies. A summary of the event is posted on the Documents Page under "reports of potential interest."
