CZEN relationship to CZNet
CZEN worked closely with the former Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) NSF national program that focused on 9 U.S observatories and served the critical zone science community through research, infrastructure, data, and models. In December 2020, the CZO program was succeeded by the Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZNet).

USGS Geomorphology Post-Doc Opportunity (deadline now May 1st)
Submitted by USGSCorina on Fri, 03/20/2020 - 12:55Interested in a geomorph post-doc looking at land-use practices? Apply for the USGS Mendenhall to map, monitor & model landscapes altered by human distrubances--be that fires in California or grazing practices in Hawaii. You will have the potential for tech partnerships w/ NASA & Carnegie Mellon, but will also need field and mapping skills. You will be working with geomorphologists and hydrologists at our Moffett Field/Menlo Park offices.

Brief Site Description:
Tropical Dry Forest, Coastal, Deforested
Detailed Site Description:
The central coast of Ecuador is a dry tropical forest. The seasonal N-S movement of the El Nino and Humboldt Currents creates a rainy season (De-May) and a dry season (June-November). Annual precipitation is approximately 700 mm, falling almost exclusively in the rainy period. The coast of Ecuador has been heavily deforested—as much as 98% by some accounts. The Cordillera del Balsamo, which lies to the south of Bahia de Caraquez is managed by local landowners and the international NGO: Global Student Embassy. The location is ideal for studying disturbance gradients across the tropical dry forest: a bioregion on which over 700 million people worldwide depend.
