Water, Landscape, and Critical Zone Processes

Funds research on Earth's near-surface — how water, landforms and chemistry interact, and how that layer responds to change.

National Science FoundationUnited StatesGrant

This programme funds research on the thin near-surface layer where rock, water, air and life meet, and on how it responds when conditions change.

The focus is the interplay between hydrologic, geomorphic and geochemical processes, and how together they regulate the structure and function of the Earth's near surface. Those processes drive weathering and soil formation, control how much water there
