The interplay between Geology and Biology has shaped the Earth from
the early Precambrian, 4 billion years ago. Moving beyond the
borders of the classical core disciplines, Geobiology strives to
identify chains of cause-and-effect and synergisms between the geo-
and the biospheres that have been driving the evolution of life in
modern and ancient environments. Combining modern methods,
geobiological information can be extracted not only from visible
remains of organisms, but also from organic molecules, rock
fabrics, minerals, isotopes and other tracers. An understanding of
these processes and their signatures reveals enormous applied
potentials with respect to issues of environment protection, public
health, energy and resource management. The Encyclopedia of
Geobiology has been designed to act as a key reference for
students, researchers, teachers, and the informed public and to
provide basic, but comprehensible knowledge on this rapidly
expanding discipline that sits at the interface between modern geo-
and biosciences.
