The Role of Critical Zone Observatories in Critical Zone Science [PDF]
, 2015 Abstract The US National Science Foundation (NSF) has pioneered an integrated approach to the study of Earth’s Critical Zone by supporting a network of Critical Zone Observatories (CZOs). The CZOs are intensively studied and monitored sites with a focus on a range of Critical Zone processes that are well represented at the various sites.

Carbonates in the Critical Zone
Earth's Future, 2022 Earth’s Critical Zone (CZ), the near-surface layer where rock is weathered and landscapes co-evolve with life, is profoundly influenced by the type of underlying bedrock. Previous studies of the CZ have focused almost exclusively on landscapes dominated by silicate rocks.

Occurrence and Distribution Patterns of Magnetic Particles Within Stalagmite Growth Laminae
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The concentrations of magnetic particles in stalagmites depend greatly on the regional hydrologic condition, and thus can act as an important proxy for paleoclimate reconstruction.

Dynamically weighted ensemble of geoscientific models via automated machine-learning-based classification [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 Despite recent developments in geoscientific (e.g., physics- or data-driven) models, effectively assembling multiple models for approaching a benchmark solution remains challenging in many sub-disciplines of geoscientific fields.
