| The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) has announced that data from the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS), along with Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) data, can now be queried from the DAAC’s Mercury Search System. OBFS is an association of more than 200 field stations, primarily in North America, concerned with field facilities for biological research and education. Over 120 OBFS data products can be queried from the ORNL DAAC’s search system; new OBFS data sets added to the OBFS collection will be automatically added to DAAC’s search system. |

| The LTER Network Office (LNO) provides a variety of services to the LTER Network under a six-year Cooperative Agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF). These services include supporting and facilitating LTER meetings, including the All Scientists Meetings, helping sites implement metadata standards, providing leadership in the development of the LTER Network Information System, acquiring and maintaining an archive of remotely-sensed images for LTER sites, and disseminating information about LTER activities and achievements. A new Cooperative Agreement is scheduled to begin in March, 2009, and the staff of the LNO is busy preparing a proposal that will be submitted to NSF next spring. |

| FORT COLLINS — William Parton, a senior scientist with Colorado State University’s (CSU) Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and co-Principal Investigator of the Shortgrass Steppe (SGS) Long-Term Ecological Research site, who has spent the past 35 years working on the development of ecosystems models, was early this year elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Parton’s ecosystem computer models, Daycent and CENTURY, developed through his research at SGS, are used extensively around the world to determine the potential impact of future climatic changes on ecosystems at the local, regional and global scale. Additionally, these models are designed to evaluate the impact of land use changes on ecosystems. |
