Hotel Galvez, Galveston, TX, United States
Chair: Alexandra Turchyn
More information at the Conference Website

Additionally, a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held in conjunction with this GRC:

Geobiology (GRS) - Merging and Emerging Disciplines in Geobiology

Chairs: Marie Catherine Sforna and John Shukle
More information at the Conference Web Site


What is a GRS? 
Gordon Research Seminars (GRS) are 2-day meetings held in conjunction with an associated Gordon Research Conference (GRC) that enable graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience to come together in a highly-stimulating and non-intimidating environment to discuss their current research and build informal networks with their peers. The seminars are organized by young investigators with the support of leading scientists from the associated GRC.

Marine Microbes Gordon Research Conference

We wanted to bring to your attention the 2020 Marine Microbes Gordon Research Conference which will be held in Les Diablerets, Switzerland during the week of May 24-29, 2020.

As an attendee of a previous Marine Microbes related GRC, you are aware of the vibrant atmosphere at this young and timely conference series, and we want to encourage you to consider participating in the 2020 GRC by attending and submitting an abstract on your research.

You can also find more information on the 2020 Marine Microbes at the following link:  https://www.grc.org/marine-microbes-conference/2020/

We look forward to seeing you in Les Diablerets next year!

Best wishes,

Corina P.D. Brussaard, Lasse Riemann and Ramunas Stepanauskas, Chairs

Geobiology Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)

Dear Geobiology Community,

We are excited to introduce a new Geobiology Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to be held January 11-12, 2020 (just before the Gordon Research Conference) in Galveston, TX.  

GRS will focus on integrative and emerging disciplines in geobiology used to assess critical biological, chemical, and physical processes and feedbacks, as well as reconstruct how these have changed over Earth's history. GRS sessions highlight new experimental and conceptual approaches, and current research questions within the field. 

The GRS chairs and discussion leaders are hoping to gather a global group of scientists, especially graduate students and postdocs, to exchange ideas, techniques, and expertise from disparate subdisciplines of geobiology. Schedule, registration instructions, and other relevant information can be found here: https://www.grc.org/geobiology-grs-conference/2020/

Looking forward to seeing you in Galveston,

Chairs: John, Marie

Discussion leaders: Hayley, Heda, Keyron, Martin

Dear colleagues, 

Encouraged by the success of the first Geobiology Gordon Research Conference in 2016, we have organized the next one to take place in Galveston, TX on January 21-January 26, 2018. The conference will be preceded by a Geobiology Gordon Research Seminar for graduate students and postdocs on January 20-21. The registration for both meetings is now open. 

The full schedule for GRS can be found at: 

https://www.grc.org/geobiology-grs-conference/2018/ 

The full schedule for GRC can be found at: 

https://www.grc.org/geobiology-conference/2018/ 

The applications for the meetings will be accepted until December 23 (GRS) and 24 (GRC), 2017. We hope that you and your lab members can attend and encourage you to get your applications in early because the attendance is capped at 200. Please forward this to anybody who you think may be interested in the conference.

Looking forward to seeing you in Galveston, 
Tanja Bosak (chair) and Sasha Turchyn (co-chair)
