  abstract = {{T}he {F}rench critical zone initiative, called {OZCAR} ({O}bservatoires de la {Z}one {C}ritique-{A}pplication et {R}echerche or {C}ritical {Z}one {O}bservatories-{A}pplication and {R}esearch) is a {N}ational {R}esearch {I}nfrastructure ({RI}). {OZCAR}-{RI} is a network of instrumented sites, bringing together 21 pre-existing research observatories monitoring different compartments of the zone situated between "the rock and the sky," the {E}arth's skin or critical zone ({CZ}), over the long term. {T}hese observatories are regionally based and have specific initial scientific questions, monitoring strategies, databases, and modeling activities. {T}he diversity of {OZCAR}-{RI} observatories and sites is well representative of the heterogeneity of the {CZ} and of the scientific communities studying it. {D}espite this diversity, all {OZCAR}-{RI} sites share a main overarching mandate, which is to monitor, understand, and predict ("earthcast") the fluxes of water and matter of the {E}arth's near surface and how they will change in response to the "new climatic regime." {T}he vision for {OZCAR} strategic development aims at designing an open infrastructure, building a national {CZ} community able to share a systemic representation of the {CZ}, and educating a new generation of scientists more apt to tackle the wicked problem of the {A}nthropocene. {OZCAR} articulates around: (i) a set of common scientific questions and cross-cutting scientific activities using the wealth of {OZCAR}-{RI} observatories, (ii) an ambitious instrumental development program, and (iii) a better interaction between data and models to integrate the different time and spatial scales. {I}nternationally, {OZCAR}-{RI} aims at strengthening the {CZ} community by providing a model of organization for pre-existing observatories and by offering {CZ} instrumented sites. {OZCAR} is one of two {F}rench mirrors of the {E}uropean {S}trategy {F}orum on {R}esearch {I}nfrastructure (e{LTER}-{ESFRI}) project.},
