Information exchange

This might follow a symposium format and consist of a variety of talks from researchers from different LTER sites describing current work on a particular theme, or research that might be incorporated in the LTER research in the future. The principal organizer will solicit talks on the proposed theme and organize the schedule of talks within the overall program structure and the number of sessions available after the timetable is determined. The principal organizer can include time for discussion etc. as they consider appropriate.

Integrating Science, Society, and Education for Sustainability

Organizer: 
Nancy Grimm

The Integrative Science for Society and Environment (ISSE) initiative and its working model for the interaction of ecosystems and social systems represent the product of tremendous investment by the LTER network and its scientists as part of the 20-year planning process. Researchers in the emerging field of sustainability science promote similar frameworks that fundamentally integrate economy, ecology, and equity.

Using EcoTrends to synthesize animal data from the LTER Network

Organizer: 
Michael Willig

A working group funded by the LNO examined the animal data in the EcoTrends database with the following objectives:
• To provide strategic insight into the products that might arise from use of extant animal-based data in the EcoTrends archive;
• To identify lacunae in data that compromise the development of new insights or understanding;
• To identify shortcomings in metadata that compromise development of new insights or understanding;

SPAN – A Network Providing Sensor-to-Database End-to-End Services

Organizer: 
Terry Benzel

In recent years, advances in sensor network technology have shown great promise to revolutionize environmental data collection. Still, these systems have remained the purview of the engineers and computer scientists who design them rather than the useful tools for the field scientists who could utilize them. Today, while there are many data logging options for basic data collection in the field, scientists are still usually required to travel to the sites to retrieve their data, and manually import it into spreadsheets.

Pathways to Environmental Literacy: The Intersection of Science, Equity, Place, and Citizenship

Organizer: 
Shandy Hauk

This Working Group session is offered by the newly NSF-funded LTER Math-Science-Partnership (MSP) Pathways to Environmental Literacy project. Presentations by panelists at this session address topics at the intersection of science teaching and learning and the myriad issues of citizenship, equity, diversity, and place. The focus areas of the Pathways project are: Biodiversity, the Water Cycle, and the Carbon Cycle.

Stable Isotopes: new technologies, novel elements and approaches

Organizer: 
Stephen Macko

This would be an updated stable isotope working group that we ran in 2006. It was done at the last LTER to a room that overflowed, and some were not able to come in the room.

 

Stable isotope analyses remain proven technologies for characterizing long term change within ecosystems. This workshop/ information exchange/brainstorming group will focus on new technologies of continuous monitoring, or continuous flow analyses, as well as new elements that could be or are being employed for assessment of processes and sources within LTER ecosystems.
