This is an introductory Astrobiology course. We will explore the history of the solar system and the Earth as the one currently known example of a habitable planet - one that can support living organisms. We will consider how stars, elements, and planets form, the important planetary processes that brought about the Earth as it was when life arose and have shaped its evolution as an inhabited planet over billions of years, and the science of searching for life beyond Earth. We will also explore the factors that shape the planet we live on today, and some of the drivers that will potentially govern its future. This course is geared toward undergraduate students and is meant to be both challenging and broadly accessible. The course will draw upon lectures and laboratory exercises to enrich those lessons learned in class.
