LTER8 Initial Conversation and Possible Roadmap: Michael Nelson

Additional topics will follow, including a site use proposal, updates from the graduate students, and the Willamette National Forest. 

Monthly meetings are used to share science, news, and opportunities related to the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and Long-Term Ecological Research program. We start with a science hour and then move into program news and announcements. Anyone is welcome to attend.  Monthly meetings are on the first Friday of the month during the academic year, from 9 AM - 11 AM.  The next few meetings will be December 7, January 11 (not the first Friday, to work around the holiday), February 1.

Forestry Sciences Lab, 3200 SW Jefferson Way, Room 20.  9 - 11 AM.

The Andrews Forest Long-Term Ecological Research Program will host a poster meeting this Friday, June 1, 9 – 11 AM, in FSL Room 20. This poster meeting will replace our June monthly meeting. The poster meeting is an opportunity to share and communicate research, plans, and ideas across our research community.  Anyone is welcomed to attend. 
 
Anyone in the research community—researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students, staff—is invited, encouraged, to bring and present a poster.  Posters could include plans for the upcoming field season, study design, hypothesis, or findings from more developed studies. 

HJA Day is an annual field gathering to share information about research, outreach, education, management, and arts and humanities at the Andrews Forest. The full-day event takes place at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest in Blue River, Oregon, and features presentations and field trips. HJA Day is hosted by the Andrews Forest Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program. In 2018, HJA Day highlights the 70th anniversary of the 1948 establishment of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (see our History page for more on the history of the site). 

HJA Day is open to anyone. The event is free; registration is required. Due to limited space and staffing, registration is limited to 120 attendees. Registration will close June 20, but may close earlier if full. Transportation from the OSU campus is provided.  Morning refreshments and an afternoon snack are provided. Participants bring a sack lunch. See more information on the schedule and find the registration link on our HJA Day page.

Thursday, June 28, 2018. HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Blue River, Oregon.

Join us as we continue our exploration of the 2015 drought.  We will share a collection of data sets and short presentations from PIs on the drought year of 2015, to see how various data collection efforts align (or don't) in a year that may be representative of future climate conditions in this region.  If there is time after the meeting, we will discuss take-home messages from this exercise.

Immediately following, the general meeting will include updates on proposals, graduate students, Willamette National Forest partnership, site use proposals.
