Here at the University of Kansas we have a thriving Geobiology program. 

Jennifer Roberts’ lab researches microbes and their interactions in geologic systems

David Fowle’s lab researches on microbial biogeochemical cycling of elements in the environment

Alison Olcott’s lab uses organic geochemistry to explore the preservation and distribution of life in Earth’s past and present.

Craig Marshall’s lab applies geospectroscopy to astrobiological and geobiological questions about the state and preservation of carbon.

In addition, the Department of Geology has many excellent research groups working on matters closely related to geobiology, including paleontology and isotope geochemistry.
