Astrobiology and the search for biosignatures in our Solar
System and beyond is central to all aspects of Sara Seager's research.
In December 2013 Seager was called to testify before the United States
House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Simply put, she told them "We stand on a great threshold in the human
history of space exploration". This essay, adapted from her testimony,
reveals in detail the 2013 MacArthur Fellow's thinking on why we should
and how we can search for biosignatures as we probe the question "Are we
alone?"<br><br>

Through almost five billion years of evolution, planet Earth has
withstood extremes of temperature, climate change, impacts with other
bodies in space, magnetic field reversals, extinctions of life on a
massive scale, and much more. Yet through it all, the planet stabilized
enough to allow the formation of life sustaining systems that we are
familiar with today. Tech Day will explore what we know about the
emergence of life, the Earth, its systems, and the stresses that are
inherent as well as imposed by human activity. As we think of the future
of the planet, the questions this program investigates are: How does
what we have learned about the past help us to predict where we are
going and how to lay the groundwork for a sustainable future?</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 24px; margin-right: 12px; ">

Mark your calendar for the third annual Carlson Lecture. This year's
speaker will be former EAPS Faculty and Senior Scientist Peter Molnar,
currently Professor of the Geological Sciences Cooperative Institute for
Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado
Boulder, CO. This public lecture will be preceded by a reception.<br>
<br>
The John Carlson Lecture, sponsored by the Lorenz Center, communicates
exciting new results in climate science to the general public. Free of
charge, the lecture is made possible by a gift from EAPS alumnus John H.
Carlson. The Lorenz Center is a climate think tank devoted to learning
how climate works. Named for the late MIT meteorologist Edward N.
Lorenz, a pioneer in chaos theory, the Center is led by EAPS professors
Kerry Emanuel and Daniel Rothman.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 24px; margin-right: 12px; ">All events in the EAPS calendar are open to the public.<a href="http://eapsweb.mit.edu/events" target="_blank"> READ MORE</a></p><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 24px; margin-right: 12px; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>

unlocking the mysteries of the natural world, EAPS faculty,
researchers, and students are discovering answers to questions that
pique the imagination and solutions to problems with important societal
implications. Support these brilliant and creative minds with a gift to
EAPS. In the face of uncertain federal research funding and increased
competition for talent among our peers, your contribution will help us
maintain our leadership in the geosciences. Fundraising priorities are
fellowship support for graduate students and discretionary funding, used
to seize opportunities and to address pressing needs.
