The theme of co-evolution is broad and cross-disciplinary, and we welcome work that spans the fields of (in no particular order) palaeontology, (bio)geochemistry, sedimentology, geobiology, palaeoclimate, geodynamics, tectonics, astrobiology and any scientific work that aims to understand how life has shaped the global environment and/or how the global environment has shaped life on Earth, or how it may do so on planets in general. We welcome equally work from the field, the laboratory or from numerical simulation.
