BOULDER, Colo.—A new, federally funded science program to monitor a the effects of global warming is setting up its headquarters in Boulder.
The National Ecological Observatory Network or NEON plans a continent-wide system of stations to collect data on climate, the atmosphere, soil, streams, plants and animals.
In Colorado, NEON plans monitoring stations in Rocky Mountain National Park, in the Pawnee National Grasslands and at a University of Colorado research center on Niwot Ridge in the mountains west of Boulder.
If the National Science Foundation approves further funding, the first stations will likely be built late next year.
