The Encyclopedia of Geobiology provides comprehensive, cross-disciplinary coverage of this rapidly growing and evolving field at the interface of modern geoscience and bioscience. This unique major reference also features a complete compilation of modern geobiological methods.
Moving beyond the borders of classical core disciplines, geobiology strives to identify cause-and-effect links and synergisms between the geospheres and biospheres, which have driven the evolution of life in both modern and ancient environments.
The Encyclopedia of Geobiology is ideal for students and researchers in such natural science fields as geochemistry, biology, geology, paleontology, and mineralogy. Readers will discover a wealth of information that can be applied to understanding and solving problems in such areas as environmental protection, public health, energy, and resource management.
