Mono Lake Symposium

This free symposium will include a series of presentations about some of the cutting-edge geobiology research being conducted at Mono Lake by the International Geobiology Course. The International Geobiology Course is an intensive, multidisciplinary course exploring the coevolution of the Earth and its biosphere, with an emphasis on how microbial processes affect the environment. The Mono Lake Committee has provided research support in the form of the Mono Basin Field Station research boat and other logistical support to this program.
