Team members from each of the 6 national CZO’s gathered at the Biosphere 2 to share research progress and develop new directions for cross CZO research. The program included 2 full days of oral and poster presentations in addition to a tour of the Santa Catalina Mountains including stops at Soldier Canyon, Mt. Bigelow eddy covariance tower and Marshall Gulch catchment experiments. Created as a model for Biosphere 1, our Earth, the Biosphere 2 was an ideal locale to host scientists who study the zone where rock meets life, The Critical Zone.
