Dear Colleagues, If you are planning to attend Goldschmidt 2024 in Chicago, August 18-23, we would like to draw your attention to an exciting session "Co-evolution of Life and the Earth Through Deep Time". We believe this session will provide valuable insights into mineral - life coevolution. The abstract submission deadline is March 29. We encourage you to consider submitting an abstract and sharing your research with the mineral community. Best regards, Hailiang Dong Theme 07: Co-Evolution of Life and The Earth Through Deep Time *Session：**7g - Co-Evolution of Minerals and Life Through Geological Time* Session conveners*：* · Hailiang Dong（China University of Geosciences, Beijing） · Trinity L. Hamilton（University of Minnesota） · Eli K. Moore（U.S. Geological Survey） · Jeff R. Havig（University of Minnesota, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences） Keynote speaker: Donald E. Canfield, University of Southern Denmark *Session description：* Geobiology is a young and growing field that embraces interdisciplinary research to better understand the water-life-rock interface where many of the most critical reactions occur on the Earth’s surface. Specifically, life-rock interactions play important roles in environmental change, biogeochemical cycling of elements, and formation of ore deposits. Minerals can provide both beneficial and detrimental effects to microbial life, while microbial life can impact precipitation, dissolution, and transformation of minerals (and rocks) through cellular activity. The co-evolution of rock-life interactions has driven the evolution of the geosphere and biosphere for most of Earth’s history. Strengthening our understanding of this co-evolution from the micro to global scale through interdisciplinary collaborations and research will then help with predicting and mitigating challenges that society is facing and will face with changes in the Earth system moving forward. The goal of this session is to bring together interdisciplinary researchers and/or collaborations to demonstrate the power of working in the field of Geobiology. We encourage abstract submission from anyone whose research intersects at the water-life-rock interface from deep time to modern systems, integrating biologically-focused techniques with those that are traditionally more geochemical and geological, to answer fundamental questions about processes that have driven, are driving, and will drive chemical reactions on the Earth’s surface. The topic includes but is not limited to identification of biosignatures in geological records, laboratory simulation of mineral-life interaction, isotopic biogeochemistry and biogeochemical modeling, and molecular and bioinformatic approaches studying metabolic pathways and evolution. *website：* *https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2024/meetingapp.cgi/Session/6400 <https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2024/meetingapp.cgi/Session/6400>*
