A Minnesota teacher learns about ecological phenomena in the Arctic and connects them to her students — igniting passion and curiosity.
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!”
Permafrost and Passion: How Two Summers in the Arctic Reignited My Love for Teaching
My summers at Toolik Field Station reaffirmed a simple truth: teaching and research are intertwined. Authentic field experiences can transform educators and students alike, inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for discovery.
24 Hours at Toolik Field Station
We are 158 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and the sun neither rises nor sets, but swings in an eternal, serene loop around the sky … it’s time to begin the great work of Science, which is something I’m still figuring out.
Letting art do the work that science cannot: Bonanza Creek’s In a Time of Change program
The In a Time of Change program at the Bonanza Creek LTER brings together artists and scientists to generate new ways of understanding nature.
Ten years later: an LTER synthesis working group leads to discovery and accelerates four careers
The CoRRE Working Group continues to develop new ways to study plant community change across the globe.
From Manhattan to the Arctic Tundra: 3 student’s summer adventure in Alaska
We spent nearly three months at Toolik Field Station studying processes in the Arctic tundra that range from individual fluorescence in leaves to tree growth north of the treeline!
A changing Arctic drives a new generation of research
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.
Gradient of Soil Fertilization Helps Tundra Shrubs Expand Across the Arctic
Scientists at the Arctic LTER find that different points along a gradient of soil fertility aid ectomycorrhizal and ericaceous tundra shrubs. Their findings hint at the potential for those two types of shrubs to co-expand over the Arctic—a previously unconsidered scenario that could have vast implications for the future of the northern tundra
Across fourteen LTERs, soil carbon is a “gatekeeper” on the nitrogen cycle
An LTER cross site synthesis effort reveals that soil carbon availability determines nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates across a wide diversity of terrestrial ecosystems.
