Synthesis & Multi-Site Research in the LTER Network
The 1993 LTER All Scientists Meeting will be held September 19-24 in Estes Park, Colorado at the YMCA of the Rockies, site of the 1990 meeting. The meeting will follow an alternating presentation-workshop-poster session format with a specific focus on synthesis and multi-site long-term ecological research. In addition to highlighting this theme, objectives of the meeting are to: provide participants with a network-level perspective on long-term ecological research, present the LTER Network’s 10-year plan, create opportunities for partnerships between LTER and other networks, long-term sites, scientific centers or programs, and encourage wider participation and develop leadership.
The scientific program is being developed by a committee of six scientists and two graduate students, who will also invite speakers, solicit leaders for workshops, and plan post-meeting reports. Suggestions for poster abstracts, workshop topics and leaders arc currently being solicited. Meeting logistics will be arranged by the LTER Network Office in Seattle, Washington.
