[LTER-commcom] LTER Communications Committee meeting, Thursday, November 18 -- new date

[Alexandra Rose]

Hi All,
I wanted to share a fun update that might have implications for our committee, maybe? Last week I and some colleagues at the CU Natural History Museum hosted a Zoom webinar live streaming from the ice in McMurdo. I can tell you more about it when we meet, but it was really popular, despite only being formally announced a few days beforehand (the logistics of setting up calls from the ice are complicated as well as the scheduling constraints of the limited field crew this year). We had 179 accounts log in, we collected data that showed that many of those represented more than one person watching, and we also got this feedback from some participants:
Please describe what other LTER Programs you would like to learn about...
Glaciers
PAL LTER
Other Polar LTERs
What Antarctica was like before the ice. Also, where Antarctica has continentallly drifted from.
paleontology, earth history, evolution
All
Climate change effect moving climate zones up mountains
Pollinators regenerative gardens native plant gardens reduce green house gases plants to grow inside that produce maximum oxygen
Niwot Ridge
Desert southwest

All of them!
archeological
Whoa - anything... totally interested. Current Native American lands or farming?
Physiological adaptations to cold weather

I'm actually not sure of what programs LTER have, but I'd love to see more on Antarctica or anything relating to the Arctic.
Basically Antarctica
All!

Any of them, particularly current research updates, but everything out of the Dry Valleys is close too my heart.
Not sure
Interested in all LTER Programs

I registered earlier but never received a zoom link. So apologies for the 2nd registration, just trying to get the zoom info to connect later this evening. Thanks for organizing!!!

I wonder: could the communications committee take the lead on organizing a webinar series? It sure seems like there's interest! I think that the live from the field aspect of things was really intriguing to people. We can certainly discuss more if this is of interest to folks.
