National Center for Earth-Surface Dynamics
  National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (www.nced.umn.edu)
The National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED) is a NSF Science and Technology Center established in 2002 and is a partnership of research and educational institutions, government agencies, and industry that pursues its goal of predictive Earth-surface science by integrating physical, biological, and social sciences to understand how landscapes and ecosystems evolve together. The Center was developed to build our predictive ability, and therefore our scientific understanding, of the near-surface Earth environment. Through the development of this knowledge, we aim to transform management and restoration of the Earth-surface environment.
