Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Niwot Ridge LTER is a community that shares an interest in mountain ecosystems and strongly values diversity and equity among our investigators, staff, postdocs, students, and collaborators. We commit to making our research community an inclusive, safe, supportive, and just environment for participants of any age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity, national affiliation, or veteran status.

For our first All-NWT meeting of the year, we hosted Dr. Haley Branch, an NSF PRFB fellow at Yale University who aims to help the LTER Network promote fieldwork inclusivity for disabled researchers. We are excited to support her efforts to provide students and researchers information regarding the accessibility of Niwot Ridge and other LTER locations.
