The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), operated by Battelle and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, offers open data and infrastructure to study ecological change in the United States. We are headquartered in Boulder, CO; have 81 field sites across the U.S.; and hire hundreds of seasonal field technicians each year. With over 80 field sites across the US collecting standardized data with automated instruments, observational field sampling and remote sensing surveys, NEON provides unprecedented opportunity for scientists and land managers to better understand and predict how and why ecosystems change.
