The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Office is excited to announce that two new synthesis working groups will launch in 2024.
Data Nuggets, operated by the KBS LTER, started its third round of funding from the National Science Foundation to improve data literacy in K-16 students.
The programs profiled here are only three examples of the many efforts to expand community connections, build a stronger sense of belonging, and remove obstacles to broader participation in LTER research.
The LTER monthly community call provides an opportunity to hold seminars, discussions, and learning opportunities of relevance to the broad LTER research community.
This year, the LTER took a hard look at our challenges and successes, our unique position in the world of ecology, and orchestrated a path towards a vibrant and collaborative future.
