Earth science

Earth science or geoscience includes all fields of natural science related to the planet Earth.

See Critical Zone Observatories and Earth science

Earth's critical zone

Earth's critical zone is the “heterogeneous, near surface environment in which complex interactions involving rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms regulate the natural habitat and determine the availability of life-sustaining resources” (National Research Council, 2001).

See Critical Zone Observatories and Earth's critical zone

Ecology

Ecology is the natural science of the relationships among living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.

See Critical Zone Observatories and Ecology

Engineering

Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems.

See Critical Zone Observatories and Engineering

Hydrology

Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and management of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources, and drainage basin sustainability.

See Critical Zone Observatories and Hydrology

Microbiology

Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being of unicellular (single-celled), multicellular (consisting of complex cells), or acellular (lacking cells).

See Critical Zone Observatories and Microbiology

National Science Foundation

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering.

See Critical Zone Observatories and National Science Foundation

Soil science

Soil science is the study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the Earth including soil formation, classification and mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.
