BIO 147: Astrobiology


[4 units]

Astrobiology refers to the study of the origin and evolution of life in the cosmos. It is an integrative, multidisciplinary field that includes areas of biology, astronomy, geology, chemistry and physics. Students in the class face some of the most fundamental topics addressed by science today such as who we are, where we came from, and where we might go. We cover three main themes: How did life begin and evolve? Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? What is life’s future on Earth and beyond?

Prerequisite: CORE 001  and (BIO 001  or BIO 005  or PHYS 006  or PHYS 008  or CHEM 002  or ESS 001 ) or consent of instructor. Normal Letter Grade only. Discussion included.
