Welcome message
The application of molecular approaches to the study of subsurface microbial ecology has been most encouraging in the past decade. As would naturally be expected - the deeper we delve the more diverse the discoveries. This is just as well, because concern is increasing about the conditions of, and within, the ground upon which we walk. We hope from the following list of selected topics some steps will be achieved to alleviate such concern.
Scientific session Current status of 30th May, 2008
1. Microbes in aquifer: nature, contamination and its biotechnological alteration.
2. Evolution of geochemical and microbiological systems.
3. Search for life on Mars and other environments.
4. Interaction between surface and subsurface in terrestrial and marine systems.
5. Meta-genomics and its future in geobiology.
6.Geological radioactive waste disposal and subsurface microbiology.
7. Subseafloor microbial life and biosphere.
8. Petroleum and gas hydrate.
9. Technology for subsurface sciences.
10. Soil: top of subsurface system.
11. Other topics.
Any additional suggestions to the above list will be very much welcomed for consideration.
