Astrobiology At The University Of Bristol
Research and information about astrobiology The origin and evolution of life on Earth and elsewhere.
http://astrobiology.gly.bris.ac.uk/

Extractions: To answer this question, we combine various areas of expertise ranging from biology to astronomy to geology. Research in astrobiology at Bristol focuses on understanding the differences between the evolution of planets. How did differences in the chemical evolution of planetary atmospheres and geological evolution lead to an environment conducive to life on Earth but hostile on Mars and Venus?
The Worlds Of David Darling: Bookshop: Astrobiology
A lucid and surprisingly accurate introduction to the field of astrobiology and a thoughtful response to the Rare Earth hypothesis.
http://www.daviddarling.info/bookshop/astrobiology.html

Extractions: Lonely Planets: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life . David Grinspoon Principal scientist at the Southwest Research Institute's department of space science, Grinspoon offers an up-to-date picture of the search for extraterrestrial life and the prospects of finding it in a universe that we now know contains other solar systems. It also covers the nearly four centuries that the search has been under way since the initial observations of Renaissance astronomers. Publishers Weekly What Does a Martian Look Like? Co-authors Stewart (mathematics, Warwick University, UK) and Cohen, who is a biologist, have worked together on other science books for a general audience. In this book, writing in plain language, they intertwine biological information with discussion of the inventions of science fiction to explore how life might have evolved on other planets in the universe.

Welcome To The Astrobiology Science 2004 Conference Website
Welcome to the third astrobiology Science Conference! astrobiology is a novel approach to the scientific study of the living universe.
http://abscicon2004.arc.nasa.gov/

Extractions: Welcome to the third Astrobiology Science Conference! Astrobiology is a novel approach to the scientific study of the living universe. It seeks to understand the origin and evolution of life on Earth, to determine if life exists elsewhere in the universe, and to predict the future of life on Earth and in the rest of the universe. To this end it relies on a diversity of disciplines, and has inspired new metadisciplines. In April 2000, NASA Ames Research Center and the NASA Astrobiology Institute hosted the first Astrobiology Science Conference. Much to the surprise of the organizers, it attracted over 650 participants from dozens of countries. The sessions were based on themes such as "Water: the Sine Qua Non of Life." Each session was led by invited plenary speakers, and followed by contributed talks selected for their topical excitement from over 370 submitted abstracts. The many excellent posters attracted viewers during special poster times, lunches, and evenings. The second conference, in 2002, was even bigger with the thematic sessions enhanced by "hot" news and controversy, and supplemented with events such as sci fi night. We have every reason to predict the upcoming meeting, to be held at NASA's Ames Research Center, March 28 to April 1, 2004, will be the biggest and best yet!

Something like 2 meetings per year for 2-3 days with talks and room for discussions can be very useful. Experience shows that some new collaborations will naturally emerges from such activity even if this happens years after the duration of the project. In preliminary discussions we have begun to isolate a few fields of interest. There is no need to restrict the list to these topics; some may be obsolete and others can be proposed instead. This list is not meant to reflect our existing level of experience around this topic. Instead, it is meant to reflect topics that are not just remotely connected with Astrobiology, but that are clearly relevant, exciting, and hopefully feasible.

GAUGING THE POTENTIAL FOR TERRESTRIAL PLANETS IN EXTRASOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS 1.1 Overview The search for terrestrial planets is an exciting component of extra solar planetary research. Artwork courtesy of JPL/NASA. The 2002 assessment of the NASA astrobiology program by the National Research Council's Committee on the Origins and Evolution of Life noted the weak level of interaction between research in the Astronomical Origins and the Astrobiology programs relative to analogous interactions between the astrobiology community and, for example, the geobiology community. The research outlined in Section 1 addresses this general shortcoming by strengthening, specifically, links between the Astronomical Origins and Astrobiology programs at UCLA. One area of astrobiology where collaboration between UCLA astronomers and cosmochemists is proving fruitful is description of the first few million years of planet formation. Through studies of young stars surrounded by gas and dust, in the form of "protoplanetary" rings and disks, that could coalesce to form planets, Ghez, Jura, Morris, McKeegan, Shuping, and Young plan to evaluate the time scales over which such structures evolve, and perhaps infer time scales over which planets form.

Extractions: (Redirected from Astrobiology Jump to: navigation search Artist's Impression of Gliese 581 c, the first extrasolar planet discovered within its star's habitable zone. Exobiology or astrobiology is the study of life elsewhere in the Universe, where this life is assumed to be non-supernatural and existing in the physical context of our Universe, as Earth life does. The Italian philosopher, priest, cosmologist, and mystic Giordano Bruno believed that an infinite number of worlds exist and harbor life. The idea of exobiology is about as old as speculations about the existence of Earthlike worlds. Metrodorus of Chios (400 BCE) believed that there were numerous other such worlds, each one approximately the Earth with planets and stars, and he stated that: His opinions were held by other Atomists, like Leucippus, Democritus, and the Epicureans, but others, like

With a five million dollar grant from NASA, the Center for Genomic and Evolutionary Studies on Microbial Life at Low Temperatures was established at Michigan State University to study the genetic mechanisms which bacteria have evolved enabling them to inhabit cold, inhospitable environments. Studies to be performed include genomic analysis of bacterial strains retrieved from the Arctic and Antarctic permafrost; some of which come from soils that have been frozen for more than three million years! The Life at Low Temperatures Project is a large collaborative effort that includes scientists from several departments at Michigan State University as well as other universities here and abroad.

The Center for Astrobiology works with researchers, programs, departments and colleges across campus and researchers throughout the world to build the research and educational programs needed to answer the profound questions raised in astrobiology: how did life arise and evolve toward intelligence, is there life elsewhere in the cosmos, and what are the prospects for expansion of Earth life into the cosmos. From an initial core of astronomy, chemistry and planetary researchers funded through NASAs Astrobiology Institute, the Center is growing to include researchers in the biological sciences, ecology and evolutionary biology, molecular and cellular biology and even hydrology and water resources. The College of Science Center for Astrobiology provides interdepartmental, national and international opportunities for collaboration in research and education in the multidisciplinary field of astrobiology. The Center will provide a focal point for interactions between life and physical sciences through joint research, links to international astrobiology efforts, and development of an interdisciplinary astrobiology program at graduate and undergraduate levels. It will provide a nexus for new proposals for federal and private research funding and education and public outreach. It will catapult the University of Arizona into the position of leadership in the training of experts in this rapidly growing field.

Extractions: The formation of Earth and its atmosphere made it possible for life to begin and evolve over time. Life on this planet has been traced back 3.8 billion years to the period when heavy cometary bombardment brought life-giving water and organic chemicals to Earth. The evolutionary record of Earth is crucial to the search for extraterrestrial life. Our past holds the only clues to how, why, or when living creatures might arise elsewhere in the universe.
