Observational Platforms And Monitoring Equipment

SAEON facilitates and conducts research through a number of platforms and these have grown into a diverse array of sites, instruments, infrastructure, datasets, models and staff, widely distributed across both marine and terrestrial environments. SAEON  platforms  enable  researchers  to  conduct research  that  is  critical  for  detecting,  understanding and  predicting  environmental  change. The SAEON platforms are managed by staff located at seven nodes and a national office.
