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-LTE
  R, TERN, KING, EcoGrid, etc.
• Instruments sensor packages deployed on lakes
• Data persistent, available in near-real time
• Linked by a common cyberinfrastructure
• With a goal of understanding lake dynamics at
  local, regional, continental, and global scales
