We're 😃 to have artists from Creative Nations visit the Mountain Research Station today. We ✔️ed out a streamgage, 👀 a nesting chickadee, and talked over approaches to art & science. Look for their Water is Life exhibit starting Sept! Dairy Arts Center @Dr_Scott_Taylor Keith Musselman




Several LTER sites are colocated with NEON sites, leading to powerful collaboration. An awesome new post on the NEON blog about the joint venture! #NSFfunded Konza Prairie LTER Niwot Ridge LTER @ArcticLagoons Harvard Forest The Jornada Andrews Forest

New research just published in PLOS Climate: Emily Monk & chris ray of CU Boulder 🦬 finds evidence for rapid change in subsurface microclimates with potential #conservation implications for a climate-sensitive charismatic species journals.plos.org/climate/articl… #ClimateChange #Ecology



For Emily Monk's paper on #pikas and #microclimate (x.com/PLOSClimate/st…), we thank Harry Robert Krear (1922–2017), whose prescience helped establish the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and also produced the historical data to support this study Niwot Ridge LTER


The LTER Network seeks #synthesis proposals that use LTER (and other) data. Got an idea for combining US LTER data with other long term data assets? We want to hear about it. lternet.edu/synthesis/rfp-… SESYNC NIMBioS Powell Center iDiv Biodiversity Research Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)


Exciting expansions to flux tower work on Niwot Ridge! Niwot Ridge LTER

I'm very pleased to share this new paper "Democratizing macroecology: integrating unoccupied aerial systems with the National Ecological Observatory Network"! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… We aim to lower the barrier to entry for using #drone & NEON data together to do ecology.
