Particularly Timely Research at Coastal Long Term Ecological Research Sites

Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research Project Marsh

The central paradigm of the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems project is that variability in estuarine ecosystem processes is primarily mediated by the mixture of fresh and salt water flows across the coastal landscape. The GCE project is investigating the underlying mechanisms by which proximity of marshes to upland habitat drives ecosystem change along lateral gradients in the intertidal zone. Our a...

NSF Long Term Ecological Research Sites - Praxis et Theoria

Information managers at each of the 26 sites in the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network face many challenges managing structurally and thematically diverse ecological data sets collected by LTER scientists. Since the LTER’s inception in 1980, LTER information managers have partnered with computer scientists to seek innovative information management solutions. This panel of three comput...

Ecological Informatics: a Long-Term Ecological Research Perspective

Scientists within the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network have provided leadership in ecological informatics since the inception of LTER in 1980. The success of LTER, where research projects span wide temporal and spatial scales, depends on the quality and longevity of the data collected. Scientists have devised data collection, data entry, data access, QA/QC and archiving strategies f...
