Scientific paper

Planets form in circumstellar disks and must inherit their compositions from their natal environments. After most of the primoridal disk material is lost, the remaining debris is available for enhancing the rocky component of giant planets and seeding terrestrial planets with the materials necessary for life. I will show new constraints on disk composition from a variety of techniques including multicolor imaging from Hubble Space Telescope and ultraviolet to mid-infrared spectroscopy from a variety of telescopes and describe the ways we infer compositions of the solids and gas. I will also discuss possible links between disk composition and structure and the feedback between young planets and their disks.
