Conference: Pathways Towards Habitable Planets
Where Barcelona, Spain
One of the most important scientific challenges for the 21st century is the search of habitable worlds around other stars, and the characterization of their atmospheres with the goal of detecting signs of biological activity. This is a long-term, interdisciplinary endeavor, engaging astrophysicists, biologists, planetary scientists, and instrument scientists. Eventually, space missions will address those questions, however today we need to start making intermediate steps. The aim of this conference is to help integrate the prospective efforts in Europe and...

Conference: Origin of Life Gordon Conference
Where Hotel Galvez, Galveston, Texas, USA
The origin and early development of life whether specifically on Earth, or possibly elsewhere in the universe, remains one of the great unsolved scientific problems. The 2010 Gordon Conference on the Origin of Life will present highly interdisciplinary cutting-edge research that seeks to improve our understanding of origins while allowing increasingly realistic scenarios for major events in life’s history. This year’s conference will again underscore the rich diversity of perspectives while addressing a variety of key questions. Does life uniquely...

Conference: SEPM Microbial Mat Conference Denver 2010
Where Denver, CO, USA
This inaugural conference presents an important geobiological review on microbial mats and the sedimentary structures they form in siliciclastic settings through Earth’s history, from the early Archean to the present. The meeting brings together an international panel of leading researchers to provide a state-of-the art overview of this field. This meeting is essential for all scientists interested in this rapidly growing field.
The conference discusses modern microbial mats constructed by benthic cyanobacteria and other microbiota in aquatic settings....
