NSF PROJECT CZN RESEARCH
CZN (Coastal Critical Zone Network)
Developing a fully collaborative, multi-disciplinary study at a network of sites to understand and predict current and future changes in coupled hydrological, ecological, geomorphological, and biogeochemical (HEGB) system.
- Biogeochemical Feedbacks
- Landscape (Ecological and Geomorphological Feedback)
- Hydrological Drivers
Coastal Critical Zone Monitoring Sites
CZ works to quantify the coupled processes and feedbacks that govern the HEGB transformations in the coastal critical zone to understand how shifts in the transition zone will translate to changes in cycling, fluxes, and storage of critical elements at the land-sea margin.
