Long Term Ecological Research Network (United States)
@uslter.bsky.social
NSF-funded network of programs studying ecological processes operating on decadal-to-century time scales. Interdisciplinary researchers and students generate high-impact, team driven science that builds on deep place-based knowledge.
Summer opportunities are starting to appear now for REUs and undergrad interns at LTER sites (first up, Cedar Creek) and for seasonal technicians at NEON field sites. Follow LTER here and on LinkedIn for fastest notice of new opportunities.
