地质微生物学和微生物地球化学（GMG）研究地球，环境系统和微生物生命之间的相互作用。微生物通过其代谢和生长需要塑造其地球化学环境，从而对其局部环境施加重要的地球化学和矿物学控制。反过来，当地的地球化学条件决定了可能的代谢过程。这些相互影响意味着微生物的进化与不断变化的地圈条件相一致，微生物推动了海洋、大陆和大气化学的重大变化。如果一个人希望了解任何含水系统中的元素循环，他必须认识到微生物对这个故事至关重要。
Geomicrobiology and microbial geochemistry (GMG) investigates the interaction between Earth, environmental systems, and microbial life. Microbes shape their geochemical surroundings through their metabolic and growth needs and thereby exert significant geochemical and mineralogical control on their local environments. In turn, local geochemical conditions dictate what metabolic processes are possible. These mutual influences mean that microbial evolution has occurred in concert with changing geosphere conditions and that microbes have driven major shifts in ocean, continent and atmospheric chemistry. If one wishes to understand element cycling in any system containing water, one must realize that microbes are critical to the story.
