Environmental Measurements

A Needs Assessment

This report explores how reliable environmental measurements are essential for understanding ecosystems, supporting economic sectors, and preparing for long-term environmental change. Through a multi-day workshop, researchers and practitioners surfaced challenges such as data gaps, sensor limitations, inconsistent uncertainty reporting, and barriers to long-term data continuity. The discussions highlight the growing need for standardized methods, improved measurement technologies, and stronger collaboration between metrologists and the environmental science community. Together, these insights help chart a more coordinated path forward for environmental monitoring and decision-making.
