LTER Scientists, students and guests:

2009 All Scientists Meeting

The 2009 All Scientists Meeting was held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado from September 13 to the 17th.  The Program Committee, working with the LTER Network Office, created a program that by all accounts, formed an exciting and productive meeting. Six plenary speakers (Phil Robertson, Jim Collins, Dave Schimel, Bill Clark, Laura Ogden, Carol Brewer), including an evening plenary presentation on the pre-history and future of LTER (Dave Coleman and Henry Gholz). There were over 75 Working group meetings in seven working group sessions, over 400 posters, four evening mixers, and pre-ASM meetings for information managers, graduate students, education representatives, international attendees, and the LTER Executive Board. Logistics for the meeting are handled by the LTER Network Office in collaboration with The Schneider Group, a company specializing in meeting organization. Special thanks to Luke Cole (VCR) and Kirsten Schwarz (BES) who designed the ASM Logo!
