[B-GM22_30AM2] Microbial ecology in earth and planetary sciences

Wed. Apr 30, 2014 11:00 AM - 12:45 PM 415 (4F)

Convener:*Michinari Sunamura(University of Tokyo Dept. of Earth & Planetary Science), Keisuke Koba(Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology), Ken Takai(Extremobiosphere Research Center, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology), Chair:Akira Ijiri(Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Katsunori Yanagawa(Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology)

Microbes have exerted the great influences on earth environments through the history of earth. Microbial ecology is a study of interaction between microbes and surrounding environments. Research target of Microbial ecology covers most of environments on the earth and planet, e.g. soil, subsurface, subseafloor, ocean, river, lake, air, space, volcano, fault and earthquake, minerals, and more. In this session , we aim to exchange informations of microbial distribution, population dynamics, function, effect on material cycles between microbial ecologist and earth&planetary scientist. We hope effective discussion from interdisciplinary approaches in this session.
