As part of an NSF AccelNet award focused on harmonizing drought data, the Global Ecosystem Research Infrastructure (GERI; https://global-ecosystem-ri.org/about/) is conducting a study to better understand the technical skills and training opportunities to prepare the next generation of environmental scientists. If you are an environmental science researcher, please consider taking the survey before May 31 and distributing it to your networks.
Join MEFA in its fourth virtual event highlighting the use of stories to make authentic connections in community engaged research. The event will provide participants with tips for putting their science into a narrative to better connect to their audience and begin to build genuine relationships. The event will begin with a one-hour workshop that includes best practices for crafting narratives, led by Bethann Garramon Merkle, an expert in science communication and engagement. The workshop will be followed by a twenty-minute presentation by Dr.
Join the members of the Macrosystems Ecology For All (MEFA) Research Coordination Network (funded by NSF) to hear Dr. Tamara Harms discuss her research on “Streams and watersheds in a macrosystems context” and then engage in a breakout session to brainstorm about what it might take for you to integrate macrosystems ecology concepts into your research and teaching.
Join the new Macrosystems Ecology For All (MEFA) Research Coordination Network on April 4 at 11:00EST for a 90-minute virtual event (details here: https://erenweb.org/mefa-events/).
Are you interested in macrosystems ecology? Would you like to explore how to use publicly available large datasets in your classroom, and/or to tackle macrosystems research questions? Do you want to learn about how to get involved in new collaborative macrosystems ecology research alongside your undergraduate students? If so, then this event is for you!
Join the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Pacific daylight time on March 14, 2023 for the live launch of the national Molecular Observation Network (MONet) initiative. Hear from the Department of Energy, Office of Science Director Dr. Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, EMSL researchers, and initiative collaborators who will talk about how MONet will advance climate science research and how to get involved.
Join a new NSF-funded Research Coordination Network, Macrosystems Ecology For All (MEFA) for their launch event. At a 90-minute opening event, hear four macrosystems ecologists share their projects and stories, engage in thinking about what it might take for you to shift towards or build your existing macrosystems research, and learn all about the MEFA RCN and upcoming events.
MEFA Launch Event: Introduction to Macrosystems Ecology Friday, March 3, 10 - 11:30 am EST
The National Ecological Observatory Network cordially invites the Allenspark, Colorado community to join our field staff for a meet and greet and presentation and forum.
Where: "The Old Gallery" at Allenspark, Colorado
When: Sept 27, 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Learn more about the National Ecological Observatory Program (NEON) field site at the Leiffer Propery in Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest and enjoy complimentary snacks and refreshments with your community!
Join NEON & the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) for an informal chat with researchers using NEON data to examine carbon storage and cycling in ecosystems within Colorado, Maryland, and Virginia. Find out who they are, how they got interested in ecological carbon research, and the research questions they are asking.
NEON will host a booth at Ohia Love Fest to describe the work NEON conducts in Hawaii and highlight the importance of the ohia tree to Hawaii’s forests.
