ESS 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 CHEM 002 or ESS 001 ) or consent of instructor. Normal Letter Grade only. Discussion included.
