LTER sites have access to more Earth observation imagery and processing power than ever before. This creates new opportunities to advance from mapping ecosystem states to monitoring dynamics over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Sustained observations of long-term plots and experiments can add tremendous value to both field and remotely sensed data. This workshop will bring together investigators from across the LTER network to share remote sensing experience and expertise, synthesize current use cases, and catalyze new cross-site collaborations and comparisons. Attendees will have an opportunity to share plot and experiment coordinates and/or site boundary information prior to the session and we will spend time during the workshop exploring time series of remote sensing observations for individual sites. We are particularly interested in characterizing patterns of vegetation disturbance and recovery with a focus on improving understanding of successional trajectories.
