Congrats @rquinnthomas & the rest of the NEON Ecological Forecasting Initiative team for getting the NEON Forecast Challenge description paper out in ESA Frontiers! As of today, 9560 forecasts have already been submitted to the Challenge by the ecological community: join us! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…

New EFI paper! "Assessing opportunities and inequities in undergraduate ecological forecasting education" led by grad student Alyssa Willson. We highlight opportunities to improve access to ecological forecasting education and other quantitative sciences doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

The 2nd round of the Statistical Methods Seminar Series co-hosted by EFI & esa_stats has finished but you can find all the recordings and R code from the seminars at: bit.ly/2XiNZgU The 3rd round schedule will be posted when it is finalized.

We are advertising for a PhD position to research how the 3D structure of vegetation canopies affects solar induced fluorescence measurements from space. Our goal is to enhance understanding of the global carbon cycle. Pls RT. SCENARIO DTP NERC NCEO findaphd.com/phds/project/s…

In a recent ESA Frontiers #paper, @rquinnthomas and colleagues highlight the NEON Ecological Forecasting Challenge with Ecological Forecasting Initiative, which challenges people to forecast NEON data before it is collected, advancing prediction in ecology. Read here: buff.ly/43A4aD1 #PubFriday

Have you marked your calendar for our first EFI conference outside the U.S. on June 11-13, 2024 in Finland? We have a great lineup of speakers who bring a diversity of expertise in a range of ecological forecasting topics! Conference details at: ecoforecast.org/efi-2024-confe…

Yesterday marked the end of my time at Harvard Forest working on ecological forecasting. I could not have asked for a better REU experience. Thank you to everyone that supported me along this research experience.

For those attending #ESA2023 next week, I'll be running an introductory workshop on the EFI NEON Ecological Forecasting Challenge: Monday 11.45-1.15! Come down and learn about how to get involved! You can access materials for the hands-on part here (github.com/OlssonF/ESA202…).

Abstract submissions are due in 3 weeks (Feb 1) for the EFI 2024 Conference in June in Finland. See bit.ly/efi2024 for link to submit abstracts & find info about speakers, workshops, and a Handbook with the venue details, social opportunities, and travel recommendations

Today is the deadline to submit an abstract for oral and poster presentations for the Ecological Forecasting Initiative 2024 Conference. Join us June 10-13 in Helsinki. Find details about keynote speakers, workshops, the program, travel logistics, etc at bit.ly/efi2024

Happening tomorrow! Still time to RSVP: bu.edu/research/2024/… Hosted by David Hamer (Boston U Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine) and Kayoko Shioda, PhD, DVM, MPH & Greg Wellenius (Boston University School of Public Health).
