An innovative new Web site, www.biogeosciences.org, bridging the earth and life sciences went online June 8th, providing a single resource for all things related to biogeoscience. Biogeosciences.org is a natural home for biogeoscience discussions, resources, and promotion. The non-commercial Web site, supported by a grant from the Biogeosciences Program of the National Science Foundation, draws from several partnered professional societies* and elsewhere to present an outstanding collection of biogeoscience resources for all levels of education and interest. Basic biogeoscience links, background information, and program resources are available along with more detailed information on jobs, funding, and research opportunities. The new Web site has comprehensive lists of degree and research programs, applicable journals and other publications, and a complete database of relevant conferences and meetings featuring special sections and associated symposia. A discussion forum allows for the rapid dissemination of ideas and opinions and addresses some of the most important issues facing biogeoscience today. The growing collection of biogeoscientists is highlighted by interviews and information on what types of research biogeoscientists are presently working. Interviews with various program managers elicit the particulars of the funding process and provide insight into research funding decisions and important statistics.
Interested parties should contact Sarah Leibson, Biogeosciences.org Web Coordinator, sfreitag@geosociety.org.
