ABSTRACT 0823135 (Atekwana)Intellectual Merit: This workshop is a multidisciplinary gathering of scientists from fields as disparate as engineering, biology, geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, and polar programs to discuss and get exposure to a new and potentially transformative field in the geosciences: Biogeophysics. Biogeophysics is the science of using non-invasive, geophysical, remote sensing techniques to determine and monitor the activity of microorganisms and their byproducts in the subsurface/deep biosphere. Sessions will focus on cutting edge topics such as the impact of microbes and biofilms on sediment physical properties and techniques to identify and measure changes. It will also explore other new and/or novel applications of the methods and generate discussions about other possible technological innovations. Broader impacts: Impacts of this work include the interaction of a multidisciplinary group of scientists from disciplines that span the gamut from engineering to biology to geophysics to sedimentology. It also has a strong emphasis on the training of early career faculty and students in this new area of geoscience. The work supports in institution in an EPSCoR state (Oklahoma) and will help to cement the leadership of the PI, who is from a gender and racial group that is under-represented in the science, in the field.

摘要 0823135 (Atekwana)智力价值：本次研讨会是来自工程、生物学、地球物理学、沉积学、地球化学和极地项目等不同领域的科学家的多学科聚会，讨论并接触地球科学中一个新的、具有潜在变革性的领域：生物地球物理学。 生物地球物理学是一门利用非侵入性地球物理遥感技术来确定和监测地下/深层生物圈中微生物及其副产品的活动的科学。 会议将重点讨论前沿主题，例如微生物和生物膜对沉积物物理性质的影响以及识别和测量变化的技术。 它还将探索这些方法的其他新的和/或新颖的应用，并就其他可能的技术创新进行讨论。更广泛的影响：这项工作的影响包括来自工程学、生物学、地球物理学和沉积学等各个学科的多学科科学家小组的相互作用。 它还非常重视对地球科学这一新领域的早期职业教师和学生的培训。 这项工作为 EPSCoR 州（俄克拉荷马州）的机构提供支持，并将有助于巩固 PI 在该领域的领导地位，PI 的性别和种族群体在科学界代表性不足。
