University of Washington Seminar: Tori Hoehler, "Quantifying Habitability as Organism/Environment Energy Balance"
Date/Time: December 2, 2008 2:30PM Pacific
Presenter: Tori Hoehler (NASA Ames Research Center)The presence or absence of liquid water provides a useful first screen for habitability but, as presently applied in consideration of life on other worlds, its resolving power is roughly binary ? “possibly” or “probably not”. Among a variety of additional constraints on habitability, energy is both universally required by life and also potentially capable of significantly greater than “binary” resolving power. For life on Earth, energy...
