The workshop designed to faciliate the deployment and development of sensor networks in lakes and the marine environment is planned for Townsville. You can read the report of the previous meeting here.

Sponsored in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Australian Institute for Marine Science (AIMS), Sun, Sunferries, SGI, Queensland Parallel Supercomputing Foundation and Melbourne University.

GOAL: Devise a plan (timeline and implementation) to create functioning networks by end of 2006.

Focus on individual networks (status (sensors, wireless networks, database, portal), plans, timetables, and questions):

Desired outcome would be the beginning schedule for deployment of parts of network.

Prioritize needs; Timeline sites to come on line

Dialog about

•  Technology development and needs of users

•  Metadata on site (for web),

•  Agreement on instruments and data, etc

GLEON Break-out sessions

  Topics include:

Science: site level and network level. This will be put in the context of an RCN (Research Coordination Network) proposal to NSF

1. Next Steps of implementing networks at sites
2. IT: Getting feedback to help identify top priorities.

Questions to be covered in the GLEON breakout:

1. What are a few of the science questions you hope to address using data from sensors deployed on your local lake or reservoir?

2. What are 1 or 2 questions you would be interested in addressing using data from sensors deployed in lakes/reservoirs across the network of sites? What data are needed to resolve those questions?

3. What are the biggest impediments or problems you face in developing or maintaining your sensor installation on your lakes/reservoirs?

4. How can the network help you with these problems?

5. What expertise can you contribute to the network?

6. What cyberinfrastructure needs does your site have?

7. What information systems are in place?
