NEON will be a revolutionary nationwide ecological sensing instrument.

Data collected by NEON will enable scientists to--for the first time--measure the causes and long-term impacts of climate change, invasive species and land use changes throughout the U.S. NEON will also produce educational/outreach resources based on NEON data.
