EDUCATION-OUTREACH
The BcCZO outreach program seeks to reach the public, students and other scientists through programs operating at multiple levels, including K-12 learning activities, undergraduate research experiences, graduate-level courses and fellowships, and a website. Our goal is to educate about the Critical Zone as well as about science and the process of research in general.

WEBSITE
The BcCZO website provides information about CZO research, publications, scientists, and more. Meteorological, soil, snow survey, and stream chemistry data can be downloaded. An interactive web page demonstrates the different projects that CZO scientists are engaged in, and how these projects relate to the environment of the field sites and to each other.
