Seminar Detail
An Fe, S-sustained Subsurface Biosphere: Insights Through Linking Geochemistry and Genomics
Presenter: Jill Banfield ()
November 24, 2003 12:00 AM Pacific
Our NAI team's research efforts center around the question of the habitability of Mars over Martian history, the possibility that life evolved there, and the types of biomes that may be present. The focus of our planned effort is broad. However, in this presentation, I will focus on geomicrobiological aspects of this work that relate to iron and sulfur-based ecosystems that flourish in the subsurface, independent of photosynthesis. In particular, the application of genomics to study microbial community structure and function will be discussed.

The Director’s Seminar series features talks from scientists who are invited by the NAI Director to present their research results to the community. A primary goal of the seminars is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across NAI teams and within the astrobiology community at large.
Team Overview Seminars describe the work of the fourteen NAI teams and NAI Central. They offer an opportunity to find out more about the science, E/PO and other activities being performed by the NAI teams and the NAI Central office.
The Forum for Astrobiology Research (FAR) provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research results and to meet as a student community for networking and mutual support.
The University of Washington seminar series is hosted by the NAI Virtual Planetary Lab (VPL) team from the UW campus in Seattle.
