Hello, This is a reminder that you are welcome to participate in a unique and exciting opportunity to provide your input on the design of NEON's Mobile Deployment Platform at the upcoming AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
The Town Hall, titled NEON's Mobile Deployment Platform (MDP): Seeking Input on a Community Resource will be held on December 7th, 2012 from 12:30-1:30 in 2005 Moscone West. PIs and Agencies can request the use of the NEON MDP for ecological research and monitoring. The MDP will be comprised of numerous modules (suites of sensors/infrastructures) designed to address specific fields of study including micrometeorology, atmospheric chemistry, ecohydrology, soils, education and outreach. These modules can be used as stand alone or in combination. Our aim is to design an MDP by i) identifying the types of questions that can be addressed with rapidly deployable resources, and ii) what types of measurements/data are needed by the science community to meet future research goals. By participating in the Town Hall you will be afforded a chance to provide direct input into the design and instrumentation of the MDP. We encourage professors, agency scientists and graduate students alike to attend this dynamic discussion.

Thank you so much and hope to see you there.
