Long Term Ecological Research Network (United States)
@uslter
NSF-funded network of programs studying ecological processes operating on decadal-to-century time scales. Interdisciplinary researchers and students generate high-impact, team driven science that builds on deep place-based knowledge.
Making your plan for #ESA2026? Check out the @uslter.bsky.social events, including lots of great talks, workshops, and special sessions as well as our Monday night mixer. And don't forget the Tuesday night "Tap takeover" with the Long Term Studies Section. lternet.edu/stories/lter...
Then follow up with folks at the Long Term Studies Section mixer on Tuesday night at Bewilder Brewing
Meetings are more fun when you have a project to discuss! The LTER request for synthesis group proposals is open until September 16 - plenty of time to write up an idea that comes together at #ESA2026. @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social @agu.org @nceas-ucsb.bsky.social lternet.edu/stories/rfp-...
Working with Cedar Creek data? In addition to the broader LTER synthesis opportunity, Cedar Creek funds working groups that synthesize Cedar Creek data (with or without other sites). The deadline for proposals is coming up fast (June 5). cedarcreek.umn.edu/cedar-creek-...
