The Critical Scales and Thin Layers web site has been initiated in order to share some of the excitement of our research with the scientific community at large, and to provide a gateway to the web sites of investigators involved in the Thin Layers Program. It is a project in continual development. There are two general sections to this site:
Overview of Critical Scales and Thin Layers
This section discusses the concept of Critical Scales, and explains what Thin Layers are.
Description of the Thin Layers Program & Experiments
This section lists the Principal Investigators who participated in the 1998 Thin Layers Experiments in East Sound, Washington. You will find information on their individual research projects, and links to PI's own web sites.
This site has been designed to take advantage of the wide format of 1024 x 768 pixel monitor resolution. If your monitor is set to a lower resolution, you can use your browser's scroll bars to view the right hand side of the page.
As with many web sites, it is best viewed with a recent version of your www browser. Updates can be downloaded for free from Netscape's and Microsoft's web sites:
