Evolution of Climate, Geochemistry and Life on the Early Earth |
Description:
|
Join NASA scientist Colin Goldblatt as he tells us about his research focus on the coupled evolution of climate, geochemistry and life on the Early Earth. The motivation of this research is understanding how the Earth evolved to its present state as the habitat for intelligent life, how life itself has influenced this evolution, and the implications of this for planetary habitability elsewhere in universe. He has also conducted research evaluating the effectiveness of radiative transfer codes used for climate change prediction and have been involved in observational physical oceanography and in evaluating the effectiveness of proposed planetary geoengineering. |
