The National Academies are pleased to announce the release of a new report, Enhancing the Value and Sustainability of Field Stations and Marine Laboratories in the 21st Century (http://dels.nas.edu/Report/Enhancing-Value-Sustainability/18806).
Amid rapid environmental change, a strong understanding of the natural world is more important than ever. Field stations are a critical component of our scientific infrastructure that connect scientists, educators, and communities to the environment. But to fulfill their vital role, field stations must evolve. This report explores strategies to harness the power and potential of field stations. Along with the report, we have made a short video that details the importance of sustaining field stations and marine lab see how many field stations you can spot!).
