Abstract:
The research group Geobiology performs fundamental and applied research at the intersection between geology and biology. Their prime objective is to generate profound insights about the interactions between the biosphere on the one hand, and the geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere on the other hand. As part of their societal mission, they adopt a 'solution-based' perspective, investigating how biology and natural systems can offer biology-based solutions to important societal challenges. Research examples include the investigation of electrical microbial systems in the seafloor (seafloor microbes that generate and conduct electricity), climate change mitigation by CO2 drawdown in coastal environments, ocean alkalinisation and the conversation and restoration of wetlands and heathlands to act as a biodiversity trove and carbon sink.
