GSA Topical Session: New Voices in Geobiology (22-25 Sept. 2019, Phoenix)

Dear colleagues,

We encourage you to submit an abstract for our topical session: “New Voices in Geobiology (T41)” to be held at the GSA Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, September 22-25.

The goal of this session is to bring together new research (and new researchers) focusing on the interplay between geologic and biologic processes with a special emphasis on new field sites, novel materials/methods, and the development/refinement of proxies. We particularly encourage early career faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students to submit abstracts to this session. We hope to bring together scientists specializing in geobiology, biology, (geo)microbiology, paleobiology/paleontology, inorganic and organic geochemistry, paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and sedimentology to generate new, interdisciplinary ideas and collaborations at the intersection of these fields. 

The GSA abstract website is now open for submissions and the abstract deadline is midnight June 25, 2019. GSA also offers several other events including the Pardee Symposia, Short Courses, and Field Trips. We especially want to draw your attention to the other sessions sponsored by the Geobiology & Geomicrobiology Division.

Feel free to contact any of our division representatives if you have any further questions, and please forward this on to colleagues or students who may be interested in this session.

We hope to see you at GSA!

The GSA Geobiology & Geomicrobiology Division Executive Committee
