Hi Bob,

I wanted to personally offer my thanks and acknowledgements to you and 
the LNO staff for your outstanding contributions to the LTER Network 
over the past 2 decades.  Responding to the needs of NSF and 26 sites 
with varying interests and demands is no easy task and I have always 
been impressed with your professionalism and dedication in serving the 
needs of the LTER community. You deserve a lot of credit for the 
prominence and respect that LTER has achieved nationally and abroad.  We 
all owe you and the staff a lot of thanks for a job well done.

Regards,

Dan

As many of you have already heard, NSF has chosen the new LTER National 
Communications Office to be  operated by the National Center for 
Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of 
California at Santa Barbara, with Frank Davis as the principal 
investigator:

First, congratulations to the team at NCEAS!  The new office will take 
advantage of NCEAS’s expertise in supporting multisite collaboration and 
synthetic research, graduate training and environmental science 
communication. Over the past 20 years, NCEAS has had a transformative 
effect on the way that ecological information is organized, synthesized 
and applied.  It is very exciting to now apply their experience and 
expertise to the LTER network.

Second, a huge thanks and acknowledgement to Bob Waide and the staff at 
the current LTER Network Office for their decades of effective and 
dedicated leadership and devotion to the network.  Their skilled 
stewardship has built LTER into one of the most visible and effective 
scientific networks in the world and has been responsible for much of 
our success in science, education, outreach and the development of the 
culture of multi-disciplinary research.

There will be a working group session about the new office at the LTER 
All Scientists Meeting on Monday, August 31 from 6:45 to 8:00 PM in the 
Ruesch Auditorium at the YMCA of the Rockies.
