Geobiology is a multidisciplinary journal at the interface of geoscience, environmental science, and biology, providing a natural home for geobiological research.

Our journal explores the relationship between life and the Earth's physical and chemical environment. We are especially look for cross-disciplinary papers with both geological and biological elements, emphasizing the co-evolutionary interactions between life and its physical environment.

Geobiology is inviting applications for the role of Editor-in-Chief

We are excited to be seeking a new Editor-in-Chief to build on the journal’s strong foundations and continue to develop Geobiology as a core community resource. The deadline for applications is May 31st 2024. Please click here for further details about the role and how to apply.
