More Information
We are studying microbes in desert rocks to inform us about climate changes and our chances for finding life elsewhere in the Universe. There are diverse types of these rocks all over the world and you can help us find them.
Rockiology is a citizen science project. We want you to be a part of our research by collecting rocks that have been colonized by microorganisms.
