[LTER-students] Get involved with the LTER All Scientist's Meeting 2018

[Cliff Bueno de Mesquita]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your email Siddarth.

I was wondering if anyone else would like to be involved in co-organizing a
workshop about measuring climate change exposure (degree of climate change
experienced) and considering it for designing climate change manipulation
experiments. The other co-lead would be NWT grad student Chiara Forrester.
We are looking for a couple more people to potentially help us lead the
workshop. So far the main questions are:

*What factors are important when determining the appropriate spatial scale
for a given climate manipulation? How do we put this decision-making
process into a standardized practice?*


*How do we best quantify climate exposure (degree of climate change
experienced) in the context of climate manipulation experiments and at what
scale is this most useful and appropriate?*

Please respond to me and Chiara (cc'd) if you are interested!

Thanks,

Cliff Bueno de Mesquita
