Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
1) Learning Objective: This course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to astrobiology, focusing on the principles of biosignatures in extreme environments, and the potential for extraterrestrial habitability. By the end of the course, students are able to understand and apply key concepts in astrobiology, analyze potential habitable environments, and critically evaluate evidence for biosignatures.2) Content: The course covers fundamental concepts in astrobiology, extreme environments on Earth, biosignatures, the geology and potential habitability of Mars and other planetary bodies, and current planetary missions relevant to astrobiology.3) Method: The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, discussions, and case studies.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students prepare and present a scientific poster on a specific topic in astrobiology or biosignatures. Topics can be chosen by students (subject to instructor approval) or assigned from a list of relevant themes. The poster should demonstrate understanding of the chosen topic, critical thinking, and the ability to communicate scientific concepts visually and verbally.Poster Presentation Guidelines:
Posters must be in standard scientific poster format (e.g., 36" x 48" or A0 size)
Topics may include, but are not limited to: specific types of biosignatures, particular extreme environments and their astrobiological relevance, potential habitable environments in our solar system, proposed mechanisms for the origin of life, or analysis of data from recent astrobiology missions
Students present their posters in a session mimicking a scientific conference
Assessment will consider content accuracy, depth of analysis, visual presentation, and oral explanation during the poster session
