The NSF Arctic Observing Network (AON) announces the next thematic
webinar in the series on Long-Term Observing Management and Governance.
This event will focus on Funding Models, and will be a panel discussion
held on Tuesday, 4 February 2014 at 1:30pm EDT.

The webinar will be held via WebEx. The panel will be moderated by
KnowInnovation and will include a question and answer session. Panelists
will be providing perspectives on a wide range of approaches to funding
for observations and will address questions such as:

- What are the mechanisms and best practices for engaging in
public-private partnerships?
- Do targeted funding calls for specific contributions to an
observing network encourage innovation and contribute to broad scale
advancement?
- Does the introduction of new regulations spur industry-academic
relations and advancement of observing, engineering, and deployment
design?
- How do we bridge the gap in funding between social science and
natural science observations and observing networks?

Panelists for this webinar include:

- D. James Baker, Director of the Global Carbon Measurement Program
and former NOAA administrator
- Tom Dawson, Managing Director of Scottish Archaeology and the
Problem of Erosion (SCAPE)
- Robert Fatland, Senior Research Program Manager for Microsoft
Research: Geoscience and Technology
- Paul Holthus, Founding CEO and President of the World Ocean Council
- Robert Waide, Executive Director for the Long Term Ecological
Research Network Office
- Brian Wee, Chief of External Affairs for the National Ecological
Observatory Network
