1 Ιαν 2015 · The National Research Council (NRC, 2001, p. 2) defined the Critical Zone as “the heterogeneous, near surface environment in which complex interactions involving rock, soil, water, air and living organisms regulate the natural habitat and determine availability of life sustaining resources.

1 Ιουν 2023 · We organize extant meanings into three tiers: (1) Earth’s spatial interface of the geochemical and biological; (2) scientific knowledge of geophysical functionality of the CZ, as represented in an ever-growing library of data or by a single feature as proxy (e.g. soil); (3) a planetary home vulnerable to human disruption.
The Critical Zone (CZ) is a holistic framework for integrated studies of water with soil, rock, air, and biotic re-sources in the near-surface terrestrial environment.
1 Νοε 2017 · This study is the first to qualify the exposure to geological hazards at world heritage sites at a global scale. Results showed that 60% of world heritage sites are potentially exposed to at least one of four geological hazards examined, namely earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
3 Αυγ 2022 · The damage-zone width of a single fault is constrained by identifying the changes in the slope of cumulative plots made on the frequency data. The cumulative plot further shows high deformation frequency by a steep slope (inner damage zone) and less deformation as a gentle slope (outer damage zone).
Critical Zone Science (CZS) represents a powerful confluence of research agendas, tools, and techniques for examining the complex interactions between biotic and abiotic factors located at the interface of the Earth’s surface and shallow subsurface.
‘A geological hazard is a geological condition, process or potential event that poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of a group of citizens or the functions or economy of a community or larger governmental entity’ (US Geological Survey, 1977, p. 19, 292).
