We received a National Science Foundation grant as part of a collaborative effort to study the urban Critical Zone over the next 5 years with a great group of colleagues from several universities: Network Cluster: Urban Critical Zone processes along the Piedmont-Coastal Plain transition. This research is part of NSF’s broader Critical Zone Cluster Network efforts.
Collaborators include:
- Claire Welty (Project Director) & Andy Miller, University of Maryland–Baltimore County (UMBC)
- Dan Bain, Univ. of Pittsburgh
- Alan Berkowitz & Bess Caplan, Cary Institute
