*“Paleogenomics and Geobiology”*
/*Abstract:*/
Paleogenomics has a variety of research agendas, and one of them is to
understand the genes involved in key changes in the evolutionary history
of life and when those genes and their interactions first evolved.
Geobiology is centred on interactions of the biosphere with the
atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. In deep time geobiology has
focused on critical intervals of change for Earth and its biota. Such
geobiological studies include data from paleobiology, geochemistry and
sedimentary geology within an interdisciplinary framework. The
combination of geobiology and paleogenomic studies is a powerful
approach which leads to a more fundamental understanding of how Earth
and life have changed through time. Such work will ultimately provide a
history of genomic change and the environmental factors that influenced
it, as well as how genomic changed influenced environments.
