MODELS
Researchers at the Susquehanna Shale Hills CZO have developed and implemented a suite of quantitative and qualitative models of critical zone processes. These models characterize the processes that shape the Earth's surface over various time scales. Improving current models and bridging knowledge gaps between different systems are at the core of critical zone research.
