Geobiology is rapidly growing at the interface between geoscience and bioscience. As seen elsewhere in the world, geobiology in China received great attention in recent years by both scientists and administrative officials. Following the geobiology workshop in 2008, we organized three International Geobiology Conferences at Wuhan in 2010, 2012, and 2014. To explore the interaction among rocks, life and climate, we are going to hold the 4th International Conference of Geobiology in 2017 at Wuhan, central China. 
The Chinese Organizing Committee, in collaboration with related national/international organizations and research institutes, is delighted to cordially invite you to the 4th International Conference of Geobiology. This meeting offers an important forum in which geologists, paleontologists, biologists, microbiologists, biogeochemists and other scientists with diverse approaches and methodologies can meet, and exchange ideas on a wide range of topics related to the coupling system of the biosphere and geosphere. I hope that such exchange and integration will accelerate the development of geobiology and the earth system sciences as a whole. 
I hope that this invitation may help you to apply for visa in local Chinese embassies. I look forward to seeing you at Wuhan in June, 2017.
