Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geobiology investigates the interactions between life and Earth's physical and chemical environments, focusing on co-evolutionary processes over geological time. The journal publishes research on the origins and evolution of life, paleobiology, biogeochemistry, and microbial processes in geological settings. Key areas include the co-evolution of the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, as well as geobiology of critical Earth history intervals and environmental geomicrobiology.
