The third iteration of this conference will address cutting edge topics in microbialite studies, bringing together a diverse mix of junior researchers and senior experts. Topics will include:

  • Biofilms and their interaction with the environment
  • Microbialites through deep time: Unique archives for environmental reconstructions
  • Microbialites in variable geological settings: From continents to the deep sea
  • Mutual impact of microbialite mineralogy and environment

There will also be interactive workshops (e.g. “Grow Your Own Microbial Mat – The Do’s and Don’ts”) and a field trip to the site of the fist stromatolites described in the literature.
