The Cyborg Astrobiologist: Porting from a wearable computer to the Astrobiology Phone-cam [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Astrobiology, vol. 6, issue 4, pp. 255-261 (2007), 2007
We have used a simple camera phone to significantly improve an `exploration system' for astrobiology and geology. This camera phone will make it much easier to develop and test computer-vision algorithms for future planetary exploration. We envision that the `Astrobiology Phone-cam' exploration system can be fruitfully used in other problem domains as ...

Current state of athalassohaline deep sea hypersaline anoxic basin (DHAB) research - recommendations for future work and relevance to astrobiology.

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2021
Deep sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are uniquely stratified polyextreme environments generally found in enclosed seas. These environments select for elusive and widely uncharacterized microbes that may be living below the currently recognized ...

Red-edge position of habitable exoplanets around M-dwarfs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
One of the possible signs of life on distant habitable exoplanets is the red-edge, which is a rise in the reflectivity of planets between visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths.

Ethics and the potential conflicts between astrobiology, planetary protection and commercial use of space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A high standard of planetary protection is important for astrobiology, though the risk for contamination can never be zero. It is therefore important to find a balance.
