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..

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.

Please join us to honor Mark Williams through a celebration of his life and contributions to science, and our interconnected community. The event will take place at 3:30 pm on November 10, 2023, at the CASE Chancellor's Hall & Auditorium (4th Floor) at 1725 Euclid Ave in Boulder, Colorado. RSVP by emailing NWTField@colorado.edu. Please bring stories and memories of Mark and wear your Hawaiian shirts. We will have a gathering following the celebration of life at Upslope Brewing at 1898 S. Flatiron Court in Boulder at 5:30 pm.
To join remotely please join the zoom webinar link, it will be live from 3:45-4:45.
Please contribute photos to a slide show which will play during the Remembrance by adding to the google share.
If you are so moved, in lieu of flowers or gifts, a contribution to the gift fund to support research at the Mountain Research Station may be made in Mark's name. Donations can be mailed to:
Mountain Research Station

Field-Intensive Research Emphasizing Diversity UP in the alpine (Fired UP) is a field experience program for incoming EBIO graduate students at CU Boulder. You can learn more about the program here.
Dr. Marko Spasojevic, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the University of California Riverside will be talking about: "A Functional Approach to Understanding Change in the Alpine".
This talk will be held in the Megaron at the CU Boulder Mountain Research Station. For more details on this and other talks happening at the MRS this summer click here.
Cal-Wood Forests & Fire Field Research Experience is a residential STEM field program for high school students. Participants explore a variety of STEM fields through studying the recent Cal-Wood and Marshall Fires. The course combines field science, outdoor recreation activities and restoration service projects.

The data produced at LTER sites are an extraordinary scientific resource that can inform a wide variety of questions. Among-site comparisons interrogate the generality of effects observed at particular sites. Modeling efforts employ long term observations and experiments to formulate and test rigorous descriptions of theory. Scaling exercises get at the continental or even global impacts of documented effects. LTER synthesis working groups organized through the LTER Network Office (LNO) are intended to support collaboration on these and many other types of questions. In the 2022 competition, the LNO expects to award 2-4 synthesis working groups at a funding level of up to $110,000 for up to two years. Required proposal elements and instructions are below.
