ProjectGuadeloupeSite type: International AffiliatePI name(s): Céline Dessert Continent: Europe
Monitoring of soil solution, stream water chemistry and physical denudation
Location(s)Guadeloupe is a volcanic island submitted to humid tropical climate. Geology is pyroclastics, basalts and andesites. Age of rocks ranges from modern to 3 Ma according to a South-North age (and elevation) gradient. A strong precipitation gradient occurs between the East Coast (exposed to trade winds) and the mch more drier West Coast. Max. precipitations are 10 m at the top of the volcanoe, La Soufrière. The Capesterre watershed is monitored automatically and two lysimeter systems are ued to monitor soil solution profiles in Capesterre and Bras David Watersheds.

Location(s)A transect of sites on Shale along the east coast of the United States. Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone ObservatorySite type: CZO
Susquehanna Shale Hills
Location(s)The Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory is a forested, small, temperate-climate catchment in central Pennsylvania in which the regolith is developing upon homogeneous shale. The purpose of the observatory and associated interdisciplinary research is to quantitatively predict the creation, evolution, and structure of regolith as a function of the geochemical, hydrologic, biologic, and geomorphologic processes operating in a temperate, forested landscape. |
