$$$$$ 21st century ecology and environmental science is Informational Technology and Engineering intensive.

NEON is a $100,000,000+ network of data sites, sensors arrays, and remote sensing platforms currently being designed by the National Science Foundation.

Field scale measurement of energy, carbon and water exchange between the atmosphere, vegetation and soil combined with remote sensing and extensive plant and soil measurements. Led by Shashi Verma and Ken Cassman. Funded by US Dept of Energy, NASA

Why Airborne Remote Sensing? CALMIT programs: airborne system complements both our on-going field-research and satellite-based activities

A really cool big-picture study that used high spatiotemporal resolution UNL data on: Soil moisture distribution (HPRCC) Deep soil moisture profiles (Biocomplexity) Groundwater fluctuations (Burbach et al.)

"Science is built of facts the way a house is built of bricks: but an accumulation of facts is no more science than a pile of bricks is a house” Henri Poincaré Can we do a better job of “value added marketing” of our high quality environmental science data?

E.T. “Ted” Elliott Ecosystem scientist, NSF program officer, Director of UNL’s School of Natural Resource Sciences. Died of cancer, June 2002 NSF Biocomplexity planning document (10/13/98) from Ted’s files: “The focus on process and pattern across levels of resolution seems to be widely encompassing and a far more robust and definable theme than biodiversity, the concepts for which I have been struggling with for some time”. “This approach requires an inter/cross/multidisciplinary approach. Each team requires the expertise of scientists with knowledge of the components and scientists interested in putting the components together and studying the system’s behavior.”
