Talk at Theme 7, Sesssion 07i at 2009 Goldschmidt -- Comparing Sites Across CZEN
The following abstract is for a talk presented at the 2009 Goldschmidt in Davos, Switzerland.
This will be a part of Theme 7, Sesssion 07i: Rates and Mechanisms of Erosion and Weathering Processes: From Experiments to Models

Most recently funded projects for CZEN
A fundamental goal of CZEN is to encourage and promote interdisciplinary research among a network of sites, people and data that span environmental gradients. Until recently the fledgling network has worked to establish the most promising sites with only an eye toward the final goal. But recent awards by the National Science Foundation to support Critical Zone science proposals provide an important step in more quickly building the network. Researchers in the U.S. are encouraged to write proposals to pursue research that crosses the sites within CZEN.
