Location: 
Reno, Nev. USA
Organizers:

A multi-day fair and workshop for all who gather data on mountain social, biological or abiotic systems to

  • describe their work
  • explore the questions and phenomena driving observations
  • explain sensors and protocols (e.g., flagship stations, crowd-sourcing, upscaling, etc.) 
  • discuss data management, user access and visualization
  • compare strategies for communicating data from remote locales
  • visit exemplary transects and observatories
  • create new collaborations
  • formalize cooperative arrangements.

Why

The goal of the fair and workshop is to move toward a more comprehensive, global mountain observation network by strengthening the ties between existing observation systems.
