Geochemistry and Geobiology
The Geochemistry and Geobiology research group investigates the interactions between geological and biological processes on Earth. We study magmatic, hydrothermal, geochemical and biological processes in modern and ancient geological time, in environments ranging from deep marine sediments to high-temperature seafloor hot springs.
About the research group
Researchers from the Geochemistry and Geobiology group are part of the Center for Deep Sea Research.
We have state-of-the-art facilities in analytical geochemistry and marine technology to our availability to support our research, including the research vessel G.O. Sars and the working class ROV Ægir 6000.
We are also responsible for BSc and MSc courses in mineralogy, geochemistry, geobiology, petrology and geomicrobiology.

Three of our researchers have been awarded a Bergen Research Foundation (BFS) grant
The Bergen Research Foundation program aims to support the establishment of world-class leaders at UiB by recruiting young candidates with outstanding academic merit and research potential. The grants provide researchers with the possibility to build their own research group of international quality.
Three researchers from the Geochemistry and Geobiology group were awarded with this prestigious grant.
