Pretty much sounds like the UNM LNO (or UW LNO for that matter)
never existed. A very sensitive and compassionate "NEWS"
announcement. Glad to be getting out.<br>

<p>UC Santa Barbara has recently
been selected by the National
Science Foundation (NSF) as the
site of the first national
communications office for the Long
Term Ecological Research (LTER)
network. A $3.5 million NSF grant
will fund this communications
office and it will be operated by
UCSB's National Center for
Ecological Analysis and Synthesis
(NCEAS) — taking advantage of
NCEAS' experience in the support
of multi-site collaboration and
synthetic research, along with
graduate training and
environmental science
communication. <a

<p>For the past two decades, NCEAS
has brought together scientists,
policy-makers, and resource
managers in dynamic Working
Groups, with the goal of tackling
significant questions in ecology
and the environment in order to
rapidly advance scientific
understanding and address critical
environmental challenges for the
benefit of society. The
Anniversary Report explores the
impacts NCEAS has had over the
last 20 years, celebrates our
collaborators, and highlights the
programs which are driving future
collaborations and discovery. <a

<p>More than 2,200 scientific
publications have been
attributed to work at NCEAS
since its inception in 1995. To
better communicate the scope and
impact of the collective work of
the NCEAS community, we have
just launched a new
visualization tool - VizSearch.
We encourage you to explore and
search for your work or working
group and discover how your
efforts have contributed to the
broad ecological, conservation
and informatic themes that have
emerged. <a
