Most recently funded projects for CZEN

Submitted by Anonymous on 08/29/2008
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.

The Critical Zone Exploration Network (CZEN) is a community of people and a network of field sites investigating processes within the Critical Zone, defined as the Earth’s outer layer from vegetation canopy to the soil and groundwater that sustains human life. CZEN members are a diverse group of researchers and educators who study the physical, chemical and biological processes shaping and transforming Earth’s Critical Zone. This research spans a wide range of disciplines including geosciences, hydrology, microbiology, ecology, soil science, and engineering. CZEN encourages all researchers working in the Critical Zone to join the effort by registering on this site and contributing content.

Date and Time: 
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 (All day) - Wednesday, September 10, 2008 (All day)
“WUN Workshop on Critical Zone Research,” sponsored by the Worldwide Universities Network, will be hosted at Penn State on Sept. 9 and 10. Day 1 will introduce participants to recent advances in Critical Zone research in the U.S. and Europe through talks by Penn State researchers active at the NSF-funded Susquehanna Shale Hills Observatory followed by a visit to that field site. On day 2, the focus will be on how WUN can advance Critical Zone research globally beginning with talks that examine specific sites and articulate the scientific expertise/capabilities which can be applied in Critical Zone research. The meeting will conclude with discussions aimed at developing thematic strategies for expanding the Critical Zone Exploration Network.
