Development of a Critical Zone Observatory National Office

该奖项将支持建立关键区域观测站国家办公室(CZO-NO)。CZO-NO将促进关键地带观测站网络(CZO)研究和教育计划的协调，并提供一个中央实体，代表该网络与科学界和公众见面。代表CZO计划，CZO-NO将协调各种活动，如共享协议、跨科学计划、培训机构，以及与其他重大研究倡议的整合。为了促进与科学界和公众的沟通，CZO-NO将更新和维护一个计划网站，并实施CZO计划的外展和教育计划。CZO-NO将与CZO社区合作，与能够使用这些数据和信息的广大社区分享CZO的发现、数据和研究机会。CZO-NO将提供一个场所，让科学家、学生和公众可以就临界区的可持续未来进行交流。

This award will support the establishment of the Critical Zone Observatories National Office (CZO-NO). The CZO-NO will facilitate coordination of research and educational programs of the network of Critical Zone observatories (CZO) and provide a centralized entity, which will represent the network with the scientific community and the public. On behalf of the CZO program, the CZO-NO will coordinate activities like sharing of protocols, cross-science programs, training institutes, and integration with other major research initiatives. To facilitate communications with the scientific community and the public, the CZO-NO will update and maintain a program website and implement an outreach and education plan for the CZO program. The CZO-NO will work with the CZO community to share CZO discoveries, data and research opportunities with the broad community capable of using these data and information. The CZO-NO will provide a venue where scientists, students, and the public can communicate concerning the sustainable future of the Critical Zone.
