We are excited to announce the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Geobiology Symposium!

The symposium will be held on Friday, February 28, 2025 at Johns Hopkins University. We welcome attendees from any career stage and invite submission for presentations (oral or poster) on geobiology-related topics including: paleobiology, geology, geomicrobiology, geochemistry, sedimentology, ecology, oceanography, climate science, planetary science and evolutionary biology.

The goal of the annual Mid-Atlantic Geobiology Symposium, initiated in 1990, is to support regional interactions and collaborations to expand understanding of geobiological processes across spatial and temporal scales and at a range of environmental conditions. This yearly event has been hosted by members of various institutions in the Mid-Atlantic (e.g., University of Delaware, John Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers University, Smithsonian Institution, and U.S. Geological Survey, among others) acting as rotating symposium partners. Ultimately, we hope to bring together researchers of various career stages at a range of institutions (e.g., primarily undergraduate institutions, state and private R1 Universities, and federal research entities) in the region.

The symposium is free of charge thanks to our sponsors the Agouron Institute and the Ernst Cloos Fund managed by the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Through this generosity, we are also able to offer grants to cover the cost of travel to the symposium.

We hope to see you there!
