TERN coordinates a nationally distributed set of instrumentation, data and information services, which collectively contribute to meeting the needs of long-term terrestrial ecosystem researchers and other users in Australia and globally of land observing systems. The infrastructure also contributes to Australia's role in international programs in areas such as global flux observing. TERN was established in 2009 by a National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) grant from the Australian Government Department of Education and Training (DoET). Through a number of extensions and renewals of its grant, TERN's project funding is currently in place until June 2022, with some post-project reporting requirements extending into 2023.
