WE STUDY THE CRITICAL ZONE
Our nine U.S. Thematic Clusters study Earth’s outer skin - where water, atmosphere, ecosystems, soil & rock interact.

The Critical Zone Collaborative Network (CZNet) is the next phase of NSF’s Critical Zone research program, comprised of nine Thematic Clusters with a wide range of geological, climatic, and land use settings that provide an opportunity to better understand the critical zone.
The Critical Zone is Earth's outer skin, but often defined from bedrock to treetop. This is an environment where rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms interact and shape the Earth's surface.
CZNet NSF-funded REU Program
Program runs between May - August
The Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) project was started in 2007 and consisted of nine observatories. The CZO website has been archived for reference.
