BioScience takes a retrospective look at LTER
As the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network enters its fourth decade, ecological scientists are taking stock of the contributions and future directions of the nation’s largest and longest running ecological research network. In a series of six papers in the April issue of the journal BioScience, teams of scientists drawn from across LTER take a critical look at the program’s 30 years of service to science and society in an era of unprecedented environmental change. (read more)
BioScience’s retrospective look at LTER and its network of scientists, observations, and cutting-edge experiments comes at a time when public agencies and other entities charged with stewarding the nation’s environmental health are increasingly challenged to provide a sound scientific basis for their decision making. The BioScience special section demonstrates how LTER provides resource managers and policy makers the relevant information they need to address the nation's environmental challenges and secure a more sustainable future.

13-16 September 2009
CCE was well represented at the 2009 LTER All Scientists Meeting (ASM) in Estes Park, Colorado with 15 participants present, including PI's, grad students, the IM team, and program office manager. Many CCE posters were presented.
Graduate student meeting
During the ASM in Estes Park, a group of 19 graduate students and 1 post-doc from CCE, SBC and MCR LTERs met informally (headed by Ally Pasulka, CCE) to begin talking about potential future interactions between these three sites. As a result of this meeting, we are planning a second graduate student symposium for the fall of 2010 and establishing a listserv for the graduate students and post-docs of these sites to increase the ease of communication. Lastly, we are beginning a conversation about potential cross-site science that will be facilitated by graduate students and post-docs from these three sites.
CCE students Moira Décima And Darcy Taniguchi lead a graduate student working group at the ASM concerning the top-down control of autotrophic biomass in both aquatic and terrestrial systems. The main points of discussion during the meeting were the definitions of top-down control, the effects of predators on autotrophs, and examples of top-down control from various LTER sites. The post-workshop goal is to suggest predator exclusion and nutrient addition experiments across LTER sites to compare these different controls across ecosystems, using standard and similar methodologies.
Information Management Meeting
The LTER Information Management Committee (IMC) met the day before the ASM for their annual meeting including working groups this year on Cyberinfrastructure Strategic Planning and Governance, Controlled Vocabulary, Unit Dictionary, and GIS. CCE LTER Informatics Team members contributed as co-chairs of the IM Governance Committee and Unit Working Groups. Lynn Yarmey reported on a Unit Dictionary Best Practices Guideline. Karen Baker was elected a member of the Network Information System Advisory Committee (NISAC). Mason Kortz and James Conners prototyped an LTER Unit Registry and joined a new Web Services Working Group. A cluster of IM posters provided an evening venue for discussions.
Ocean Acidification Working Group
Mark Ohman (CCE) and Russ Schmitt (MCR) co-chaired a well-attended session on Ocean Acidification Impacts on Coastal Ecosystems and Communities. The workshop set the stage for future comparative studies across different coastal LTER sites, as part of the developing ISSE initiative.

Two SIO graduate students (Alison Cawood and Moira Decima) from CCE were awarded one year Scripps graduate student fellowships in the Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program. Sponsored by NSF, the fellowships provide funding to graduate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers. Alison and Moira have partnered this summer with teachers from San Diego-area schools to develop and implement science lessons for the classrooms, as well as advance their science communication skills. More information can be found at http://explorations.ucsd.edu/Around_the_Pier/2009/July_August/Staudigel/ In addition, on 8 July, lead PI Mark Ohman gave a science overview to the GK-12 teachers who will be sponsoring Alison and Moira in their classrooms this coming academic year, to build a bridge between CCE and local high school teachers.
