Harvard Forest Post-doc Earns LTER Training Grant

Post-doctoral fellow Sydne Record has earned a grant from the Long-Term Ecological Research Network to help forge a new network for graduate students who are conducting socio-ecological research, a cutting-edge science that combines traditional ecology with the study of human societies to help solve complex sustainability, climate, and land-use questions. A spring working group will connect LTER graduate students working within these multiple disciplines to 1) share strategies for bridging disciplinary gaps throughout the PhD training process, 2) discuss and integrate new research methodologies, and 3) foster collaborations among their sites and projects.
