Scientific paper

In 1960, NASA established an exobiology research program to fund research into the origin and evolution of life on Earth and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Today, NASA's Astrobiology Program, which includes an element focusing on exobiology and evolutionary biology, funds transdisciplinary research into the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. This talk will address the the cross-cutting nature of astrobiology research, which encompasses work in mcirobial ecology, evolutionary studies, biogeosciences, earth sciences, planetary science, paleoclimatology, global environmental change; and the increasing focus of planetary exploration missions on astrobiological questions.
