Interdisciplinary approaches to understand the environments that could support life
Convener: Oliver Herbort | Co-conveners: Claire Guimond, Mark Fox-Powell
Understanding the prospects of places beyond Earth to host living systems requires understanding the properties of these places themselves: what kinds of places does life need, and what is special about such places on Earth? The answers will naturally draw upon the expertise of many disciplines, including but not limited to geology, biochemistry, atmospheric physics, and astronomy. This session invites presentations from any discipline that speak to the properties of environments that could host life, from Earth and the solar system to exoplanets.
