Coupling Planetary and Ecosystem Modeling to Assess Habitability and Inhabitation
Offered By: UW Astrobiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the cutting-edge research on assessing habitability and inhabitation in the Solar System and beyond in this colloquium talk by Stephane Mazevet. Discover an innovative approach that couples planetary and ecosystem modeling to address the challenge of characterizing habitable planets and identifying potentially inhabited ones. Learn about the application of this method to four different scenarios: investigating methanogenic activity on Enceladus, quantifying the impact of methanogens on early Earth's atmosphere and climate, assessing favorable landing sites on early Mars, and studying habitable Earth-like planets around G-type stars. Gain insights into the implications of this research for future space missions and our understanding of potential life beyond Earth.
