Welcome to the Dark Energy Biosphere Institute (DEBI) Research Coordination Network (RCN), a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Research and Coordination Network that exists to help coordinate and support deep biosphere research, and to aid in the transfer of information regarding the deep biosphere's role in the global Earth system. The DEBI-RCN is co-directed by Katrina Edwards and Jan Amend, University of Southern California.
