ARCHIVED CONTENT: In December 2020, the CZO program was succeeded by the Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZ Net) ×

Multiple Disciplines

Understanding the structure and evolution of the Critical Zone requires knowledge of petrology and structural geology, geochemistry and weathering, soil science, geologic dating, biogeochemistry and nutrient dynamics, geomorphology, hydrology, and information management.  Additional information on multi-disciplinary research can be found by searching the key-words in the Data Management page.
