The AGU fall meeting abstract deadline is rapidly approaching(Aug 4) - check out our session! I'm organizing this session with Clara Chan (U Delaware) and Kim Handley (UC-Berkeley). Any questions? Don't hesitate to contact me!
AGU 2011 session B51: Microbe-Mineral Interactions in Modern and Ancient Environments
To understand biogeochemical processes, we must link microbial metabolism to elemental transformations. We still have much to learn about the identity of key microbes, biosignatures, effects of microbial community interactions, and biochemical mechanisms driving element cycling. In this session, we aim to bring together researchers that study biomineral formation and dissolution in modern environments, with applications to topics such as bioremediation and modeling of ancient biogeochemistry. We welcome submissions on cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approaches to study metal and sulfur biogeochemistry, controls on elemental transformations, and the ecology and evolution of relevant organisms and functional genes.
Our featured presenters are:
John Bargar (SSRL)
David Emerson (Bigelow Lab for Ocean Sciences)
Robin Gerlach (Montana State)
Alexis Templeton (CU-Boulder)
The abstract deadline is 4 August 2011. Further information on abstract content and formatting, and an on-line submissions link can be found on the AGU website at http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/submit-policies/.
