Tim Kratz, Director of the Trout Lake Station, has accepted a position as a rotating Program Officer in the Ecosystems Science Cluster at the National Science Foundation.
His 1-2 year term starts in mid-November.
"I’m looking forward to serving the ecological community and helping to shape the future of ecosystem science, while at the same time getting to see a wide diversity of new ideas from some of the top minds in the field."
Kratz will stay involved, albeit at a distance, in his ongoing projects such as Long Term Ecological Research (LTER), Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) and the Crystal Lake mixing experiment while at NSF.
