LTER Community Call: International Opportunities

The International LTER Network connects national and regional networks similar to our own. In October 2024, the ILTER will hold the third ILTER open science meeting (OSM) in Xishuangbanna, China. In this community call, Tiffany Troxler, Chair of the ILTER and a co-PI with the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER, will discuss the international LTER Network, the upcoming open science meeting, and opportunities to get involved in both or either.

Themes for the ILTER OSM–and topics for discussion on this community call, include:

1. Sensitivity, mechanisms, and adaptation of biodiversity to climate change
2. Environmental pollution, ecosystem restoration and management
3. Social-Ecological Resilience against external shocks from pandemics to climate change
4. New technologies and infrastructures for ecosystem research
5. Application of ILTER science to environmental issues
