Technology Development in the Long Term Ecological Research Network. 1991.
    This report assesses LTER development in Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, Internet Connectivity, Archival Storage, and Global Positioning Systems. It provides a history of funding supplements in 1989 and 1990 and a snapshot view of several important technologies across the network as of September 1990. The report concludes that dramatic improvements had been made over this time period at all sites and that those improvements had a major impact on idividual site research and the ability of LTER to operate as an integrated network.  Network Office Publication Number 12.
