The field of Astrobiology considers the emergence and evolution of life on Earth, and the potential for life elsewhere. This course explores fundamental concepts in Astrobiology including the creation of the chemical elements, origin and evolution of the solar system, the definition and requirements for life, early Earth environments and life's emergence on this planet. Additionally, students explore habitability on other extraterrestrial bodies — including Mars, Icy worlds and exoplanets, through self-directed research.
