Biogeosciences(B) Session Sub Category Geomicrobiology(GM) Session ID B-GM22 Title Microbial ecology in earth and planetary sciences Short title Microbial ecology Convener Name Michinari Sunamura Affiliation University of Tokyo Dept. of Earth & Planetary Science Co-convener 1. Name Keisuke Koba Affiliation Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Co-convener 2. Name Ken Takai Affiliation Extremobiosphere Research Center, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology International Symposium No request Language Japanese Scope 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. Type of presentation Oral and Poster presentation Invited papers MINAMISAWA, Kiwamu (Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University) ISOBE, Kazuo (Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo)
