Organisation

The Centre for Geobiology (CGB) is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Bergen and is a collaboration between the Departments of Biology and Earth Science.

Research at CGB is primarily organised around five themes:

• Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Systems and Geodynamics
• Water-Rock-Microbe Interactions and the Deep Biosphere
• Vent and Seep Biota
• Life in Extreme Environments and Roots of Life
• Early Earth and Biosignatures

However, the actual research activity at CGB generally overlaps more than one research theme, so CGB uses a matrix organisational model.
