LTER Community Call: Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers

March 27, 2024: Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers .
Group synthesis projects use and combine data from multiple sites, times, or approaches. They also build professional networks, expand your scientific perspective, and produce impactful science. But doing them well requires a particular combination of skills, including both technical and interpersonal skills. In the Fall of 2024, the LTER Network Office will begin offering a course for 27 LTER early career researchers that will include in-person and virtual components, a dozen instructional modules in key synthesis skills, and a small-group synthesis project. Join the March Community Call to learn about the course plan and opportunities to take part as a project science mentor or a participant..

LTER community call: Increasing Diversity in Fieldwork through Access Transparency

February 28, 2024: Haley Branch, Postdoctoral Fellow, Yale University.
Dr. Haley Branch (postdoctoral fellow in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University) will lead us through an NSF proposal she wrote to help promote fieldwork inclusivity for disabled researchers. Many disabled students do not consider a career in EEB because of the dominance of and emphasis that the field places on fieldwork. Additionally, there is little information available about accessible fieldwork options. Haley plans to help the LTER Network build a database that will provide students and researchers with information regarding the accessibility of the different LTER locations. This will include information about the site itself, available lodging, laboratory set up (if any), etc. The first aim is to survey the locations for current accessibility and the second is to suggest potential opportunities where access could be increased at various application levels.

Boulder Creek Watershed exhibit at Museum of Boulder

The Boulder Creek watershed exhibit is a collaboration between INSTAAR’s Boulder Creek Critical Zone Observatory, Niwot Ridge Long-term Ecological Research program, Center for Water Earth Science and Technology, and many partners including Boulder County Parks & Open Space, City of Boulder, United States Geological Survey, and more. It shares what we’ve discovered about the land, plants, animals, water, and climate of the place we all call home, over the course of decades of research in the watershed, with the community.
