Key Progress - Summary• Proposals:

– Research Coordination Network (RCN) proposal funded by NSF– PRIME proposal submitted to NSF (funding for students to work on GLEON)

• GLEON Response to NEON RFI: Submitted• Meetings:

– Attended AGU (Fountain, Weathers)– Planned SIL Special Session (Kratz others)

• Science– Diel Oxygen

What is the “Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network?”

• A grassroots network of– People: lake scientists, engineers,

information technology experts– Institutions: universities, national

laboratories, agencies– Programs: PRAGMA, AS-Forest

Biogeochemistry,US-LTER, TERN, KING, EcoGrid, etc.

– Instruments – Data

• Linked by a common purpose and cyberinfrastructure

• With a goal of understanding lake dynamics at local, regional, continental, and global scales

Driving Rationale for GLEON

Predict lake ecosystem responses to natural and anthropogenic mediated events

• Build an international multi-disciplinary community of researchers to advance lake science through development of a global lake ecological observatory network (GLEON)

• Develop new scientific insights and paradigms through a global network of sensored lakes

• Better integrate aquatic science with information technology and sensor development. Source: D. Hamilton

Second GLEON and CREON Workshop: Townsville AU 28 – 29 March 2006

• Agreement on specific lake analysis

• Agreement on data collection from coral reef

• Demonstrations of technologies

• Agreement of future meetings

• Continued outreach

3rd GLEON and CREON Joint Workshop3-4 October 2006 Hsinchu

• Science: – Qualitative explanation of

diel oxygen dynamics– Understanding biological

and physical influences on metabolism by modeling

• Data Infrastructure: – Metadata about lakes;

controlled vocabulary

• Students:– Find funding

• Next Meeting: GLEON– Finland, March 2-5 2007

Research Coordination Network (NSF Award; PI P

Hanson):

• Includes a series of key science questions

• Architectural design of coordinated global sensor

network

• Broaden involvement at all levels; new partners,

outreach

and education

US GLEON Team Response to NEON Request for Information

• How do changes in climate, land-use, and invasive species alter lake metabolism and consequently ecosystem services through biogeochemical, biodiversity, and hydroecological responses?

• Climate change alters lake metabolism and phenology by altering dissolved organic matter (DOM) loading, thermal structure, and extent of anoxia.

• Changes in land use alter lake metabolism by changing nutrient, contaminant, sediment, and DOM loading.

• Invasive species alter lake metabolism by changing plankton community structure and biomass and hence water transparency.

The Current Model

Portable Lake Metabolism BuoyNorth Temperate Lakes LTER

WisconsinInstrumented Platforms

•make high frequency observations of key variables

•send data to web-accessible database in near real time

Scalable instrumentation and cyberfrastructure is critical

We can do this scale nowhttp://lakemetabolism.org

Problematic, but possible with today’s cyberinfrastructure

Scale needed to answer regional/continental questions

Not currently possible

Addressing the Scaling ChallengeNSF NEON Award

• Collaborative Research: Automating Scaling and Data Processing in a Network of Sensors: Towards a Global Network for Lake Metabolism Research and Education– UCSD, UWI, IU, SUNY-BU

• Automate– Instrument management– QA/QC and Event Detection– Modeling and analysis

• Streaming Data Architecture– Web Services, workflows, portals– Streaming data middleware– Common software roll

• Broaden Involvement of Students

– Organized by K Weathers and Lake Sunapee Association

– Attended by B Benson

• Working with students to transfer some technology from NSF “Autoscaling” Project– K Chiu involved on aspects of data streaming

• Special Session organized by GLEON : – The use of high-frequency data from sensor networks in limnology – Known Submissions

• The Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network: merging limnology and information technology to understand lake dynamics at multiple scales (T. Kratz et al)

• The use of lake sensor data in student education (Pouwels, Hamilton, et al)• Typhoon Disturbances on the Ecosystems Metabolisms of a Subtropical

Alpine Lake (D (JW) Tsai et al)• The mixing between hypolimnetic and epilimnetic water as reflected by

continuous monitoring of DO & pH in a lake (A Nishri)• Near real-time assessment of net autotrophy/heterotrophy in a tropical

constructed wetland (B. Sherman)• Analysis of anomalies in diel patterns of surface dissolved oxygen
