From Past to Present – Integrating Modern Techniques, Laboratory Studies, Analogue Environments, and Chemostratigraphy to Unravel the Geobiology of Modern and Ancient Environments

The Gordon Research Seminar on Geobiology is the ideal venue for graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and senior scientists to come together and discuss cutting edge, unpublished research over a two-day period and support a new cohort of early career scientists. The GRS has an inherent focus on providing graduate students and early career scientists the opportunity to present their most recent research in a collegial environment meant to foster discussion.

We seek presentations that will generate informative discussions on the following themes:

• modern environments as analogues for ancient environments
• metabolic signatures of deeply rooted metabolisms in modern and ancient sediments
• modern and ancient chemostratigraphic studies including trace elements and isotopes
• laboratory or field based experimental geobiology
• microbial surface reactivity, biomineralization, and metal cycling
