Geobiology
Geobiology is the study of the interactions between the Earth's biological and geological processes. It examines how living organisms, such as plants and animals, influence the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and climate. This field combines aspects of biology, geology, and environmental science to understand how life shapes the planet and vice versa.
Researchers in geobiology investigate various topics, including the role of microorganisms in nutrient cycling, the impact of climate change on ecosystems, and how geological formations affect biodiversity. By studying these relationships, scientists can gain insights into the history of life on Earth and predict future environmental changes.
