Safety and Teamwork Committee Meeting
The LTER safety and teamwork committee provides concrete and deliberate actions and resources at individual sites and at the network-level to bring new talent into ecology and LTER and ensure that all LTER community members have the tools and resources to work safely and as part of a cohesive team, where they can bring their full selves and count on being treated with respect.

Do you want to share your research with a wider audience, but just aren’t sure where to begin? Would you like to sharpen your science communication skills? Are you just enthusiastic about writing and want to learn more?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, come to the SSALTER (Short Stories About Long-Term Ecological Research) Blog Webinar Series! Through a pair of interactive, online webinars, presenters from across the LTER Network will share their expertise and strategies for crafting engaging, accessible stories about important long-term research designed to delight and engage both colleagues and non-scientists.
Part 1 will be Wednesday, August 5th from 3:00 – 4:30 pm EDT (12:00 – 1:30 pm PDT) and will explore story development through discussions of different narrative frameworks, incorporating human stories and personal reflections into writing about fieldwork. We’ll also take some time to talk through writing ideas with other participants.
Part 2 (date TBD) will explore the mechanics of executing story ideas, putting words on the page, and transporting your readers through text and images.
While the SSALTER Blog has historically focused on graduate student stories, we value the experiences and perspectives of everybody engaged in long-term research; this webinar is open to anybody interested in scientific communication, regardless of their role! Please reach out to Thomas Zambiasi (tzambias@iu.edu) with any questions.

Dr. Renato J. Figueiredo, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Oregon State University
This presentation will overview techniques that leverage AI multi-agent systems for data exploration and analysis that use environmental data deposited in repositories such as EDI and NEON. Such systems leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate steps in data exploration and analysis workflows – such as the generation and execution of API queries, metadata processing and data harmonization, and generation of analysis code – while exposing user-friendly conversational interfaces.

We’ll hear from 2 synthesis groups focusing on resilience in (primarily) grassland systems. One group, “Resilience of Productivity”, was funded through the LTER Network Office. The other “Grassland Rocks” is a grad-and postdoc-led group capitalizing on the proximity of three grassland sites. Please join us to hear what they’ve each learned and where they are headed next.
