From Geosphere to Biosphere Session
July 2025

WORM Energy Supplies at Goldschmidt Prague!

Thank you to everyone who attended talks at the "From Geosphere to Biosphere" session. Grayson Boyer and Kate Weeks gave talks that involved quantifying microbial energy supplies with the WORM Portal. Check out the WORM Library tutorials 3-9. Energy Supply Calculations on the WORM server to learn how to do it with hands-on examples!
