WELCOME TO THE BIOGEOSCIENCES! Biogeosciences is the study of the fundamental interactions between life and the Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere, and potentially includes such life on other planets. There is a fundamental need to define and shape the emerging field of Biogeoscience. The physical, chemical, and biological sciences continue to expand, and bridging these disciplines is necessary to promote growth. Developing a common definition helps to bring together the biogeoscience community and establishes an identity, which will have broad repercussions in funding, employment, and research.
