Part 1: Cyberseminars on “Growing the Critical Zone Research Network”

--, United States
05 - 05 February 2020

Deadlines Abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline has passed Registration: Registration is now closed Official website https://www.cuahsi.org/education/cyberseminars/winter-cyberseminar-series/

We were funded by NSF for a Critical Zone Research Coordination Network this year. As part of our proposal, we’re hoping to increase the diversity, inclusion and access of researchers in “critical zone” science—earth surface sciences including hydrology, geology, atmospheric science, ecology, etc.—to bring in new ideas and new questions.

We’ll be running a series of online panels entitled “Growing the Critical Zone Research Network” through the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc. (CUAHSI)’s Cyberseminars in February of 2020: https://www.cuahsi.org/education/cyberseminars/winter-cyberseminar-series/. This series will introduce basic concepts in CZ science to those not totally familiar with this field but interested in getting involved. If you're interested in earth surface science broadly, we'd love you to participate. We’re hoping to engage undergrads, grads, postdocs, and early career faculty, in particular!
