The Bedrock Critical Zone Network (CZN) team seeks graduate students to work on a new, NSF-funded project focused on understanding linkages between subsurface weathering, surface processes, and ecosystems across a network of sites in the coterminous United States. This is transdisciplinary work at the interface between water, rock, and life and involves collaboration with top scientists at eight institutions across the country.
In October, Eos highlights the importance of critical zone science, the research that is moving it forward, and the role it will play in connecting people across various communities.
