Modeling Virus and Bacteria Populations in Europa’s Subsurface Ocean
Life, 2022 The search for life in the universe is often informed by the study of “extreme” environments on Earth, which provide analogs for habitable locations in the Solar System, and whose microbial inhabitants may therefore also serve as analogs for potential ...

Terminator Habitability: The Case for Limited Water Availability on M-dwarf Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are among the most promising and abundant astronomical targets for detecting habitable climates. Planets in the M-dwarf habitable zone are likely synchronously rotating, such that we expect significant day–night ...

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Origin of Life Scenarios
Universe, 2023 If the origin of life is rare and sensitive to the local conditions at the site of its emergence, then, using the principle of mediocrity within a multiverse framework, we may expect to find ourselves in a universe that is better than usual at creating ...

Life, 2021 There are two types of rogue planets, sub-brown dwarfs and “rocky” rogue planets. Sub-brown dwarfs are unlikely to be habitable or even host life, but rocky rogue planets may have a liquid ocean under a thick atmosphere or an ice layer.

A revised lower estimate of ozone columns during Earth’s oxygenated history
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The history of molecular oxygen (O2) in Earth’s atmosphere is still debated; however, geological evidence supports at least two major episodes where O2 increased by an order of magnitude or more: the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) and the Neoproterozoic ...

Habits of practice, habits of thought [PDF]
Journalism, 2018 The years since the launch of this journal in 2000 have been as bountiful for scholars of journalism as they have been painful for practitioners scrambling to keep up with the dizzying pace of change. Our observations and explorations over time suggest that journalistic activities – what we might call ‘habits of practice’ – seem to be changing far more

Revisiting habitability in conversational systems
, 2021 Conversational systems are inherently disadvantaged when indicating either what capabilities they have or the state they are in. The notion of habitability, the appropriate balancing in design between the language people use and the language a system can

System Architecture and Planetary Obliquity:Implications for Long-term Habitability [PDF]
, 2022 In the search for life beyond our solar system, attention should be focused on those planets that have the potential to maintain habitable conditions over the prolonged periods of time needed for the emergence and expansion of life as we know it.
