Biosedimentology is rapidly growing at the interface between biology and sedimentology during critical periods of the evolution of Earth's life, which is supposed to be the subject of this conference. Emphasized in particular is the involvement of microorganisms in sedimentary processes, biomineralization processes and mechanisms, and their contributions to carbon neutrality and habitable earth. Four themes are suggested, and abstracts are encouraged to submit to related 23 sessions.
