Geobiology and Environmental Geochemistry

Description

The Geobiology and Environmental Geochemistry Program (GEG) supports studies focused on: (1) interactions between biological and geological processes; (2) furthering understanding of the geochemical processes that shape the biosphere; (3) the role of biological agents in geophysical and geochemical processes; (4) processes, rates, and mechanisms of inorganic and organic geochemical phenomena, at, or in proximity to, the Earth’s surface, including the soil sciences; (5) development of tools, methods, and models for low temperature geochemistry and geobiological research, and (6) understanding geochemical phenomena at the broad spectrum of environmental interfaces ranging from planetary and regional to mineral-surface and supramolecular scales. GEG facilitates cross-disciplinary efforts to harness new bioanalytical tools - such as those emerging from molecular biology - in the study of the terrestrial environment at a broad range of temporal and spatial scales.

Target Dates and Deadlines

January 16 and July 16, annually
