GCE-LTER Faculty Scholars Opportunity
The GCE-LTER Faculty Scholars program is an NSF-funded opportunity for faculty to engage with a multi-disciplinary, multi-institution team studying long-term ecological change in a southeastern coastal estuary.
The Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) project’s team of 20+ investigators has been characterizing the dynamics of estuarine ecosystems in Georgia – from tidal freshwater forests to the South Atlantic Bight – since 2000, producing foundational knowledge of how these environments work and respond to long-term change. The inaugural GCE Faculty Scholars program is designed to facilitate participation in the project through collaboration with GCE-LTER Project Investigator(s). Scholars can use this opportunity to collect pilot data, conduct research that aligns with our scientific mission, and build collaborations.
