Professor Bruce Jakosky studies the surfaces and atmospheres
of planets, the evolution of atmospheres, and the possibility
of life on other planets. His current work investigates
Martian atmospheric evolution on billion-year timescales,
as well as the seasonal cycles and surface-atmosphere exchange
of volatiles, and, of course, possible Martian biota. Jakosky
and his team utilize stable isotopes in the Martian environment
to indicate the efficiency of evolution and possible biological
processes. Jakosky currently studies the geochemical processes
on Mars a source of energy to support possible life. He
currently serves as an Interdisciplinary Scientist for Surface-Atmosphere
interactions for the Mars Global Surveyor. In addition to
his research interests, Bruce maintains a profound interest
in the philosophical aspects of astrobiology.
