Two PhD graduate research assistantships are available beginning January 2011 (or sooner) for projects supported by the NSF at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (www.hubbardbrook.org) in New Hampshire. The study focuses on feedbacks between hydrology, soil characteristics, and catchment biogeochemistry and is aimed at explaining the spatial and temporal variation in stream water chemistry at the headwater catchment scale. The project will have an intensive field component that will require extensive travel.

Dear CZEN Friends,

I'd like to call your attention to a special session for the 2008 Goldschmidt Conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We would really love to see submissions focused on specific CZEN seed sites and CZ observatories to facilitate discussion amongst groups working at the same sites.

Title: Multiple approaches for assessing processes in the critical zone:
Focus on watersheds around the world

Conveners: Heather Buss, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA, USA;
Vala Ragnasdottir, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK

Goals: Multidisciplinary studies in the critical zone are receiving more
and more focus around the world in order to understand processes that
impact the biosphere. This session encourages papers that address critical
zone processes such as weathering reactions, soil formation, erosion,
water and sediment transport, and nutrient cycling using multiple
approaches such as cosmogenic and stable isotopes, biological techniques,
modeling, and monitoring of chemical and hydrologic parameters. Papers
based on well studied critical zone watersheds and observatories are
especially encouraged.

Abstracts are due March 1, 2008. http://www.goldschmidt2008.org/abstracts/instructions

Thanks!
