Project Mission<\/h3>\n

Establish an observation network to measure, monitor, and understand the terrestrial environment of Okinawa, in a collaboration between scientists and the people of Okinawa.<\/p>\n

Project Description<\/h3>\n

The OKEON Churamori project is an initiative led by researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST). The primary goal is to develop a network of Universities, Museums, schools, and citizen scientists who are interested in research on the environment of Okinawa. In particular, we are developing long-term space-time observation series from a network of locations in Okinawa Prefecture, combining field, informatics, and molecular approaches. In the last two years, the OKEON team has initiated long-term data sampling at 24 sites across Okinawa. Each site currently has instruments to log weather data, arthropod traps, camera\/video traps, and acoustic recorders. In the lab, we have constructed a high-throughput ecological genomics pipeline, including automated molecular and bioinformatics pipeline. We hope to expand this network scientifically and geographically as more partners come on board.<\/p>\n

Funding<\/h3>\n

OKEON is currently funded by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
