This white paper summarizes the work accomplished by the Critical Zone (CZ) graduate research group (GRG) towards developing and implementing cross-site research. We lay out several tractable research questions and hypotheses developed from group discussions. We identify the Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) datasets that are currently most useful for cross-site research. We also speak to potential pitfalls and opportunities that future GRG efforts will likely encounter engaging in cross-site research. Finally, we suggest how the GRG plans to involve a wider community in its cross-site research efforts.
