We are thrilled to receive a new collaborative award from the Advances in Biological Informatics Program at NSF. Project PIs are Corinna Gries (University of Wisconsin), Matt Jones (NCEAS) and Scott Collins. This three year award from NSF will allow us to develop workflow tools and metrics to be used in the analysis of temporal dynamics of ecological communities. The "public abstract" for this award (also posted on the NSF website) states:

Construction of our EDGE rainout shelters at SEV was completed this fall. Manufacturing the roof panels is underway and all sensors have been ordered! Shelters have also been constructed at the other study sites in Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. Our goal is to be ready to start the rainfall manipulation treatments in April 2013.
