  2. MISSes on Mars? Let’s look


    The January 2008 issue of the journal Geobiology is dedicated to the subject of microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISSes), a topic of interest in astrobiology. Nora Noffke, a Principal Investigator in the Exobiology and Evolutionary Biology Program, is guest editor of this special issue.

    Noffke is an associate professor in the Department of Ocean, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Noffke’s research interests include, in addition to astrobiology, the biosedimentary dynamics of siliciclastic...

  3. A Geobiological Perspective on the Emergence of Animal Life


    Researchers from NAI’s University of Hawai’i Team and their colleagues have a new paper in Geobiology reviewing recent work on the climatic, geochemical, and ecological events that preceded animal fossils, considering their portent for metazoan evolution. They also consider recent published research on the nature and chronology of the earliest fossil record of metazoans, and on the molecular-based analysis that yielded dates older than the last 35 million years of the Precambrian for the appearance of major animal groups.
