Geo-Bio Interfaces covers four primary spheres of academic interest that intersect with the geo- and biosciences: microbial, environmental, geochemical, and energy and resources. This scope of the journal is further specified by the following topics:
Section | Theme |
Microbial |
Microbial controls in the modern and ancient geo-environment Microbial controls in astrogeobiology Biofilm form and function Contributions to biogeochemical cycles Microbial weathering of minerals, rocks and soils |
Environmental |
Bioremediation of toxic substances and emerging contaminants Water treatment and wastewater management Biocatalysis of minerals and biomineralization Microbial controls in carbon capture, storage and disposal |
Geochemical |
Mineral-microbe-fluid reactions, thermodynamics, and kinetics Isotope (bio)geochemistry Geochemical and biogeochemical reactions, controls and scaling Trace metals and organics in biogeochemical cycles |
Energy and resources |
Microbial transformation of economically important minerals and elements Challenges of sustainability and geomaterials Microbe-mineral interfaces in soil productivity and agriculture Geomicrobiological/biomining prospecting and resource recovery |
The journal is fully open access and available to to all. Further information about the Open Access policy, agreements, waivers, etc. is available. here.
