ABSTRACTThe Critical Zone is loosely defined as the region of Earth from the top of the bedrock to the top of the treetops. This is the region that supports all terrestrial life and is constantly evolving as rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms interact to regulate the Earth’s environment. This project will establish the coordinating hub of the Critical-Zone Collaborative Network, which is designed to continue the research advances in the science of the Critical Zone that NSF has supported for the past decade. The Network Coordinating Hub will provide cyberinfrastructure, data management, and community services to support the Critical Zone Thematic Clusters, which are research collaboratiions pursuing new and practical knowledge concerning the functions of the Earth’s surface systems.The Network Coordinating Hub will: (1) enhance and integrate existing data services operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) and EarthChem to support the Critical-Zone science community; (2) support scientific discovery through community synthesis activities and via access to community data and modeling cyberinfrastructure; (3) broaden the Critical-Zone community and the impact of Critical-Zone science through outreach and education activities; and (4) enhance collaboration among the Critical Zone Thematic Clusters through coordination, sharing, and community events.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

摘要临界区域被松散地定义为从基岩顶部到通道顶部的地球区域。这是支持所有陆地生命的地区，并且随着岩石，土壤，水，空气和生物有机体相互作用以调节地球环境，并且正在不断发展。该项目将建立关键区域协作网络的协调中心，该网络旨在继续NSF过去十年来支持的关键区域的科学研究。网络协调中心将提供网络基础架构，数据管理和社区服务，以支持关键区域主题群集，这些群集的研究合作是追求有关地球表面系统功能的新和实用知识的研究，网络协调中心的功能。支持关键区域科学界； （2）通过社区综合活动，访问社区数据和对网络基础设施进行建模来支持科学发现； （3）通过外展和教育活动扩大关键区域社区和关键区科学的影响； （4）通过协调，共享和社区活动来增强关键区域主题集群之间的协作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估诚实地认为通过评估。
