I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

LTERs are great training grounds for the sort of multi-talented researchers that modern ecology needs. We combine multi-disciplinary field experiences with decades of contextual data. @ilter-network.bsky.social
