Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology Microbes, Minerals, and the Environment26 October 2006 Genomics, microbiology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and materials science are being combined to provide a new understanding of the role of microbes in the Earth’s processes and their potential effects on environmental as well as human health. A select group of individuals are being asked to bring attention to how interactions among microbes, minerals, the environment, and people have shaped the ecology of the Earth and what new strategies exist for harnessing these interactions for bioremediation, climate control, and materials science.
