Lessons from Long-Term Data: An ARETs Experience at the H.J. Andrews LTER
now design lessons where students analyze real datasets, compare short-term and long-term trends, and consider how disruptions—such as wildfire or limited field access—can influence scientific conclusions.
Invisible Impacts Symposium
The Invisible Impacts Symposium is a two-day virtual symposium exploring how social and ecological perspectives can come together to better understand long-term environmental change. Ecology has a rich tradition of long-term observation – decades of data on forests, watersheds, atmospheric chemistry, and biodiversity. At the same time, the social sciences and humanities offer powerful frameworks for… Read more »
The Federal Data Field Guide
The field guide provides a more complete context for federal data users and stakeholders that will inspire them to consider a broader range of data types in their research and advocacy. It is organized into eight categories of federal data (statistical, administrative, geospatial, scientific, accountability, evaluation, navigation, and reference data) and provides context, methods, policy… Read more »
Clotheslines, Hair Ties, and Tape Measures: Low Tech Tools for the Win
“Science and data collection doesn’t always have to have flashy gizmos and light speed computers… Methodology, consistency, simple tools and flexible minds are gold in the field. Get out there!”
Voices of the Forest: Frog Bio-acoustics in the LUQ-LTER
Sometimes, the best way to understand an ecosystem is simply to stop and listen.

Network Onboarding 2026
July 8, 2026 @ 9:00 am-10:00 am –
Are you a new graduate student, undergraduate, investigator, or staff member at an LTER site? After you get settled into your local site, join us to learn about the integrative science and opportunities that being part of a national network can open up. The LTER network onboarding provides a brief introduction to the immense variety of research that is carried out across the Network. We’ll also touch on where to find network-level resources and offer an introduction to the data systems of the LTER Network.
Returning Home to California’s Kelp Forests
As a native of Santa Barbara, I grew up exploring the tidepools, splashing in the waves, and kayaking the waters that are now part of the Santa Barbara Coastal-LTER. Now, thanks to the ARETs program, I am better equipped to share my knowledge about this special area with my students.
