Task Force - Mountains
Mountains Under Watch conference and International Mountain LTER Network workshop |
Aim and Scope
The Mountains Task Force aims at fostering collaboration of LTSER platforms and LTER sites in mountain areas spanning from the lowlands to the highest elevations. We therefore aim to create a network which:
- is not project based, but long-term oriented,
- favours joint approaches enabling data comparison at a international scale,
- promotes exchanges of common good practices and staff members for training.
This Mountains Task Force goes in hand with the Mountain LTER initiative of GMBA and jointly organises their activities.
