> *“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.
