The Long-Term
Ecological Research Network is governed by an Executive Board between meetings
of the Science Council (http://www.lternet.edu/node/140/). This Board is thus quite important in scoping
the activities of the Network, which coordinates activities and initiatives
between the 27 individual sites.
Comparison studies and experiments, shared methodologies, and conceptual
integration are important sorts of activities that reside at the level of
cross-site activity. In addition, the
Network promotes education, outreach, and diversity of the community of
researchers and educators across the LTER sites. The Executive Board comprises roughly a dozen
members, and the various sites rotate in occupying 9 seats.
We’ll post access to
minutes and activities of the Executive Board and Science Council on the BES
News as they become available.
Thanks to Emma for
taking on this important role in LTER.
