LTER Calendar

LTER recognizes the value of sustained interactions between students, teachers, and scientists, and strives to integrate LTER science with K-12 education. Most LTER sites conduct individual programs at the local level, and the network supports centralized approaches to educational initiatives.

In this community call, we will review the results of the recent LTER climate and culture survey and begin thinking about implications for LTER site and LNO activities to enhance a culture of inclusion in LTER research and education.

The LTER Information Management Committee meets monthly via video conference to share information and ideas relevant to information management in the LTER Network. Information Managers from all LTER sites are invited and encouraged to participate in these meetings.

The purpose of the LTER Network DEIJ Committee: Engagement, integration and retention of a diverse community of students, scientists, and educators within LTER. Provides concrete and deliberate actions and resources at individual sites and at the Network to foster diversity and inclusion.

The LTER Graduate Student Committee was established to foster interaction among graduate students working at LTER sites and between students and senior LTER scientists, to create student opportunities for intersite research, and to develop interdisciplinary graduate student training programs. Membership includes student representatives from each of the LTER sites.

The Information Management Committee Executive Team meets monthly and is responsible for tracking working group progress, liasing with the Environmental Data Initiative, the LTER Executive Board, the LTER Network Office, and developing agendas for the IM Virtual watercoolers.
