Geo-Biosphere Interactions (GB)
With the advent of life on Earth about 3,5 billion years ago a new chapter in the history of our planet began. Ever since, interactions between the ocean’s geosphere and biosphere have played a key role in the evolution of Earth.
Using interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches, our research covers a broad array of topics in many different marine environments. These range from studies on the transport of particles in the water column down to deeply buried sediments, to research on hydrothermal vents and cold seeps and their highly diverse and unique biological communities.
The Research Area 'Geo-Biosphere Interactions' (GB) is funded by the DFG Research Center 'The Ocean in the Earth System' as well as the DFG Cluster of Excellence of the same name. Projects funded by the Cluster of Excellence are presented separately in GB projects 3, 5 and 7.
