Geobiology Seminar
W 3:00PM - 5:00PM
Gomes, Maya L, Smith, Emmy
Olin 346
Geobiology Seminar AS.270.668 (01)
Geobiology is the study of interactions between life and rocks. In this class we will explore how organisms impact sedimentary records both directly, by leaving behind biosignatures, or indirectly, by affecting their surroundings in a way that promotes formation of certain types of minerals. This will serve as a guide for interpreting geological records during the early evolution of life on Earth, the rise of animals, and major mass extinctions.
