With 2021 coming to a close, we reflect on the community events and activities that brought us closer together. Our global engagement has continuously increased since 2020 thanks to the leadership of various early career scientists from iLEAPS, LAECESS and our own community members. This year alone, we held a Spring Workshop, ECN-LAECESS early career… More
The FLUXNET global research community is getting support from the United States’ National Science Foundation (NSF). Trevor Keenan, assistant professor at UC Berkeley, and affiliated to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a faculty scientist, will oversee the new FLUXNET Coordination Project (FLUXNET Co-op).
The FLUXNET ECN community welcomed four scholars and environmental scientists on July 30, 2021 to discuss career challenges to early career scientists and the resources, solutions and obstacles they faced in their own experience. In this blog, we selected key resources and knowledge shared for early career scientists from each panelist. Resources include advice/tips,… More
