EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Posted on 16. Dec, 2011 by Leanne

A primary goal of the LTER Network is to provide a wide range of educational opportunities for students at participating institutions. Many undergraduate and graduate students are supported directly from LTER awards each year and others use LTER facilities and equipment in support of their research programs. In addition, the LTER Network, through its association with other networks worldwide, provides opportunities for the international interchange of students and faculty.
