The purpose of this workshop is to assess the present state-of-the-art of sensors and supporting infrastructure used to measure and quantify the local, regional, and global state of the environment and how it is changing in time and in response to natural and anthropogenic forcings. Additionally, NIST is seeking information on what new measurement technologies, testbeds, measurement comparisons, calibration services, Standard Reference Materials (SRMs), and documentary standards are needed to advance the breadth, accuracy, continuity, and comparability of environmental measurements.
