The LTER Network has a strong presence at the 2024 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. See all the talks and posters here!
As part of a multi-site Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, two science teachers, Emily Chittick and Traci Kennedy, from Milwaukee Public Schools, conducted an experiment to see whether warmer water temperatures affected the ability of sea urchins to flip themselves over after being turned upside down. They wrote up this part of their summer… Read more »
Marine LTER sites come together to synthesize how consumer-mediated nutrient dynamics are changing throughout time and in response to disturbances.
Now accepting applications for the 2024 cohort of LTER Graduate Writing Fellows.
An experiment at treeline, one on the tundra, one in the Kuparuk. Each has provided researchers with valuable truths about how each Arctic system responds to change.
