This is a list of free and open-source software for geological data handling and interpretation. The list is split into broad categories, depending on the intended use of the software and its scope of functionality. Notice that 'free and open-source' requires that the source code is available and users are given a free software license.
The second timeline shows an expanded view of the most recent eon. In a similar way, the most recent era is expanded in the third timeline, the most recent period is expanded in the fourth timeline, and the most recent epoch is expanded in the fifth timeline.
|left= optional - Sets the left padding of the timeline (in em) |labels= optional - Sets geological time labels to be displayed (era, period, epoch, age) Period options: cenozoic not functional - displays entire Cenozoic timescale; quaternary not functional - displays Quaternary timescale; neogene not functional - displays Neogene timescale
When you are getting started, you might want to use {{Graphical timeline|help=on}} to generate a ready-made, empty template – or type {{subst:Graphical timeline/blank}} into a sandbox page, save the page, and edit the resulting code. Hopefully, the parameter names are pretty self-explanatory.

Geobiology is a field of scientific research that explores the interactions between the physical Earth and the biosphere. It is a relatively young field, and its borders are fluid. There is considerable overlap with the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, paleontology, and particularly soil science and biogeochemistry.
