  4. Where are the Ecology Observatories?Other Observatories • EEON • iLTER • USGS • NASA • NCAR • Unidata ?? • National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), • Stroud Water Research Center ?? • Supercomputing Centers • Woods Hole Oceanographic Research Center • ?? • ?? • ??

  5. Where do the Observatories get data? • Researchers …. • Their own monitoring efforts • Citizen Scientists? • ???

  6. What issues do the Observatories face? • Getting the data • Validating the data…. • Documenting the data • Making it easier to find & use the data…. • Visualization • Modeling & Analysis

  7. What do the observatories offer, and how do you get it?Let’s look at one – The LTER Network

  8. Some data exploration….The H.J. Andrews LTER Site • Marc Harmon is coming…. • What data might you want? • (consult with your Term Project Affinity Group)
