2000 LTER Network Office Annual Progress Report

SUMMARIZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE LTER NETWORK OFFICE DURING THE FOURTH YEAR OF COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT DEB–9634135 – The Network Office played key roles in three major LTER activities during 2000-2001. Preparations for a mid-term site review in May provided an opportunity to review and revise NET goals and led to an intensive effort to prioritize activities in support of these goals. NET staff took the lead in organizing the All Scientists Meeting in August, including the development of the agenda, preparation for plenary speakers, organization of workshops, management of the meeting budget, and general logistics. The Network Office worked with the Executive and Coordinating Committees to prepare for the twenty-year review of the LTER program.
