Antarctic marine and terrestrial ecosystem scientists meet at NREL
Colorado State University researcher Diana Wall, who has spent 15 field seasons in Antarctica, is hosting the first meeting of 25 U.S. Antarctic researchers working at the two Antarctic Long Term Ecological Network, or LTER, research sites. The meeting will be held Sept. 24 at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State.
The Antarctica research experts will address how ocean and terrestrial ecosystems are responding to climate change and other global changes. They will discuss how a majority of the marine salts influence salinity of soils in Antarctica and therefore have a direct impact on the distribution of soil, fauna and flora.
