[LTER-education] LTER EOC and The Virtual Field Meeting follow up

Fri Oct 2 06:45:27 PDT 2020

Hi all, thanks for a great meeting yesterday!  Please see below for a helpful synopsis and links to the Virtual Field resources.

We have the opportunity to create a Live from the Field webinar, to make this happen we need someone (or two) to lead the effort and get us organized.  Anyone willing to volunteer to coordinate a LTER Live form the Field webinar?  Please send me and Kari O’Connell and email if interested.

Perhaps we could focus on one of the themes that has been coming out of the cross-site curriculum discussion that Jill started.

  *   Water and life connections to
     *   abundance - vs. - drought
     *   elevation
     *   temperature - melting
     *   salt level
  *   carbon
  *   nutrient cycling

I’m still looking for a co-chair, so please let me know if you would like to fill this role!

Hi Kara, Cora, Hillary, Claudia, and Kari--

Thanks so much for the great presentation and discussion today! It's nice to see some of these connections coming together.

I have a few followup items from the meeting, but thought that the rest of you might have some to add before we send out to the group.

It's a little more complicated to share the video, outside of those who already have access to the google drive, but if you want it, Hillary or Claudia, let me know.

  *   LNO/EB Updates

     *   I mentioned that SERC was recently funded to do a major overhaul of their portal to improve search and discovery of geoscience education resources, including those hosted elsewhere.
