AERC brings together U.S. research programs in universities and private, state and federal laboratories that conduct research, provide training and analyze policy at the ecosystem level of environmental science and natural resources management. These centers are located throughout the U.S. mainland, as well as Alaska and Puerto Rico. Their scientists, who number more than 500, conduct a major share of the ecosystem research in the United States.
The goal of the AERC is to promote the optimal use of limited scientific resources in the search for solutions to complex, large-scale environmental problems.

Become A Member!
AERC has two types of memberships: Institutional Membership and Individual Membership. Any individual or institution actively engaged in ecosystem research or training is eligible for nomination and election to membership. INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP: AERC has historically been focused on Institutional Members, whose dues help defray costs of our annual business meeting, an annual congressional briefing, workshops and training for ecosystem scientists, and other benefits provided to our member organizations. INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP: AERC also accepts Individual Memberships, who are intended to allow individuals interested in supporting ecosystem science with a mechanism to affiliate with AERC as a non-voting member and take advantage of certain AERC sponsored events. |
