Development and analysis of a database of Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery to support cross-site research
Goals and Objectives We propose to generate a cross-site database of existing Landsat TM satellite imagery covering each of the 26 current sites in the LTER network from 1985-present. We…
Responses of ecosystem productivity to Critical Climate Periods; understanding the role of fine-scale temporal climate patterns on ecosystem productivity
Goals and Hypotheses Based on this conceptual framework and the ability of CCP analyses to improve our understanding of ecosystem processes over annual climate characteristics at KNZ we propose to…
Quantifying Uncertainty in Wet Atmospheric Deposition
BACKGROUND Monitoring nutrients in precipitation inputs and other ecosystem fluxes has advanced our understanding of biogeochemical cycling. However, uncertainty due to variability or error in observations and models has…
Synthesizing long-term records and eco-hydrologic modeling to quantify structural legacy effects
Rationale: While the importance of legacy effect characterization to interpreting long-term records of ecological conditions has continued to emerge (Bain et al. in review “Legacies in Material Flux: Structural Catchment…
SiteDB redesign to accommodate ClimDB/HydroDB and StreamChemDB
Summary: This proposed workshop will review the current design of SiteDB and recommend design changes to facilitate the integration of value-added databases, ClimDB/HydroDB and StreamChemDB, into the Network Information System…
EML Diagnosis and Best Practice Implementation Mentor
Summary: Of the EML datasets being contributed to the LTER NIS, a significant fraction is not of sufficient quality for automated use, and a variety of approaches will be necessary…
Integrating Local Knowledge into Long Term Ecological Research – MALS Training and Planning Workshop
Objective: Convene a three-day training/planning workshop in Spring 2012 that provides LTER investigators, LTER graduate students, and others with a theoretical orientation, practical skills, and the research tools to document…
LTER Personnel Database Web Services Development
Allow site IMs to manage their personnel records through a single interface provided by LNO and then redisplay that content on their own websites by incorporating a web service call…
Tools and training for sensor network establishment and management
Abstract There is strong interest among LTER sites in the establishment and management of sensor networks and there is a need for coordinated training and tool sharing. Coincidentally, NCEAS is…
