Join the movement to explore how and where life evolves in planetary systems
Our Research Focus
Co-Evolution of
Life and Planet
What physical conditions does life require to start and to flourish, and where are the settings to find such conditions?
Planets and Atmospheres
How does life begin and evolve through its interaction with atmospheric, surface, and subsurface nutrient pathways?
