The 2022 Jornada LTER Desert Ecology Short-Course took place at both the Jornada Experimental Range and NMSU’s campus from June 28-30, 2022. It was well-attended by over 60 graduate students, Jornada researchers, and visitors from other universities and LTER sites. This year’s short-course included student presentations, field visits, and a data management workshop. We also had some exciting keynote speakers such as Jen Rudgers from the Sevilleta LTER and Diego Medina, the Piro-Manso-Tiwa tribal historian.
