Get involved!
TERN can only ever be as good as the quality of input it gets — and that includes from our readers and collaborators everywhere.
You can get involved in TERN’s work by using and contributing data to the portals of the various TERN facilities. Talk to the people below about becoming actively involved in TERN’s work.

Types of data, and notes |

AusCover |
(02) 6246 5786 |
Remote sensing-derived products and associated field-validation data |
|
AusPlots |
(08) 8313 1249 |
Rangeland and forest plot-based data |
|
Australian Coastal Ecosystems |
(07) 3833 5515 |
Coastal data, including water quality, coastal habitats, coastal bathymetry and marine turtles |
|
Australian Supersite Network |
(07) 3138 1284 |
Biogeochemical data, ecological data, flux data |
|
Eco-informatics |
(08) 8313 1270 |

|
eMAST |
(02) 9850 4227 |
Ecophysiological measurements (photosynthesis, water relations, leaf traits) Note: eMAST is building on many other kinds of data — e.g. carbon dioxide and water fluxes, landcover variables from space, atmospheric carbon dioxide measurements, remotely sensed fire data, hydrograph data — all large-scale syntheses by TERN or other groups. They are not the kind of data that others are likely to be able to add to. |

If you are in Adelaide on Tuesday 27 March, you might be interested in attending The ACEAS Great Debate as a prelude to the TERN Symposium.
Registration to the 3rd TERN Annual National Symposium is now open. Program and registration information are on the symposium webpage.
TERN's AusCover Facility is holding a Data Users Workshop in Brisbane on 8 March. Visit the web page for links to the program and information on how to register.
TERN's AusPlots Sub-Facility is holding a Field Method Training workshop at the Renmark and Calperum Station Supersite in South Australia, 4-9 March. Limited places available, so get in quick!
In our December newsletter the TERN Director summarises — and celebrates — the huge effort that has gone into creating the TERN network so far. We introduce you to the complex world of the Australian Supersite Network. At workshops in Adelaide and Perth, TERN facilities work with various collaborators; we invite you to get involved in TERN; and there's some wild talk. You'll have to read the newsletter to find out more.
New research supersite will tell woodlands climate story (media release)
What would it take to get you to share (both deposit and use) data in TERN facility portals? If this question interests you join our discussion on LinkedIn.
