The Topics in Geobiology series covers the broad discipline of geobiology that is
devoted to documenting life history of the Earth. A critical theme inherent in
addressing this issue and one that is at the heart of the series is the interplay between
the history of life and the changing environment. The series aims for high quality,
scholarly volumes of original research as well as broad reviews.
Geobiology remains a vibrant as well as a rapidly advancing and dynamic field.
Given this field’s multidiscipline nature, it treats a broad spectrum of geologic,
biologic, and geochemical themes all focused on documenting and understanding
the fossil record and what it reveals about the evolutionary history of life. The
Topics in Geobiology series was initiated to delve into how these numerous facets
have influenced and controlled life on Earth.
Recent volumes have showcased specific taxonomic groups, major themes in the
discipline, as well as approaches to improving our understanding of how life has
evolved.
Taxonomic volumes focus on the biology and paleobiology of organisms—their
ecology and mode of life—and, in addition, the fossil record—their phylogeny and
evolutionary patterns—as well as their distribution in time and space.
Theme-based volumes, such as predator-prey relationships, biomineralization,
paleobiogeography, and approaches to high-resolution stratigraphy, cover specific
topics and how important elements are manifested in a wide range of organisms and
how those dynamics have changed through the evolutionary history of life.
Comments or suggestions for future volumes are welcomed.
