Explore geobiological processes and how microbes interact with minerals and drive nutrient cycling; Learn the scientific process by doing science—form hypotheses, run experiments, and present your ...

A team from the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research in Warnemünde (IOW) has successfully reactivated microscopic algae that had remained in a dormant state on the seafloor for nearly 7,000 years ...

This research significantly enhances our understanding of the geobiological processes behind stromatolite formation, both in the modern environment and throughout Earth's history.

To make lipid biomarkers the powerful tool of geobiological study, my research will focus on 1) developing efficient analytical protocols to detect, identify and quantify lipid biomarkers in various ...

The idea that life on Earth arose through a series of improbable "hard" evolutionary steps may be misjudged, according to a new paper that says our Earth had a big say in matters.

Partnering with farmers, water agencies, and geobiological experts, his team discovered village water bodies were blocked by silt. By providing machinery, raising awareness, and training villagers to ...

Combining this genetic information from molecular biology with geobiological information from the rock record can help astrobiologists understand the connections between the shared evolution of the ...

Microbialites represent one of the oldest known ecosystems on Earth, with a fossil record dating back 3.7 billion years. These long-lived communities form sedimentary structures as a result of the ...

In his work on the climate crisis, historian Dipesh Chakrabarty speaks of two kinds of time --- a human time of phenomenologically meaningful events that converged a few centuries ago into a ...
