Hosted every three years, the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) All Scientists' Meeting is a rare opportunity for researchers from all 28 LTER sites to explore wide ranging research questions. The focus is on research conducted in and with the LTER Network, but the meeting is open to all interested participants.

The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE Arctic) is a 10-year project (2012—2022) to improve our predictive understanding of carbon (C)-rich Arctic system processes and feedbacks to climate. This is achieved through experiments, observations, and synthesis of existing datasets that strategically inform model process representation and parameterization, and that enhance the knowledge base required for model initialization, calibration, and evaluation.

Toolik Field Station welcomes all to join at Santa Barbara City College for two days of science and conversation. The All Scientists Meeting is intended to spark conversation, inspire new ideas, and garner feedback amongst the Toolik community. Participation from young researchers and educators is highly encouraged as are the contributions of seasoned Toolik veterans. A current project at the station is not required, only continued interest in research and education in the Toolik area and thoughts about how Toolik services can best support these important endeavors going forward.

Join researcher Jean Pennycook live from the Cape Royds penguin colony in Antarctica! A seasoned researcher, Jean is part of a team conducting globally unique demographic studies of Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The study uses penguin-borne sensors to evaluate foraging conditions and behavior and environmental conditions on Adélies.

The Arctic is the epicenter of climate change, warming twice as quickly as the rest of the planet and driving increasing weather extremes across the northern hemisphere. But because the region is so remote, scientists have had a limited understanding of its processes. In 2019, the MOSAiC expedition set off on an unprecedented journey across the Arctic to take our knowledge about climate change to a new level.

Aboard the icebreaker Polarstern, researchers would spend a full year locked in the ice, collecting crucial data during polar winter for the first time ever.
