Transition to a Moist Greenhouse with CO2 and solar forcing
Nature Communications, 2016 Greenhouse-gas forcing has previously been thought to be rather ineffective at destroying the habitability of Earth-like planets. Here, the authors show that CO2is as effective as solar forcing at causing a climate transition to a Moist-Greenhouse regime

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Life That Develops Intelligence
Universe, 2019 Do mass extinctions affect the development of intelligence? If so, we may expect to be in a universe that is exceptionally placid. We consider the effects of impacts, supervolcanoes, global glaciations, and nearby gamma ray bursts, and how their rates ...

Theory-based Habit Modeling for Enhancing Behavior Prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Psychological theories of habit posit that when a strong habit is formed through behavioral repetition, it can trigger behavior automatically in the same environment. Given the reciprocal relationship between habit and behavior, changing lifestyle behaviors (e.g., toothbrushing) is largely a task of breaking old habits and creating new and healthy ones.

Fluorine-Rich Planetary Environments as Possible Habitats for Life
Life, 2014 In polar aprotic organic solvents, fluorine might be an element of choice for life that uses selected fluorinated building blocks as monomers of choice for self-assembling of its catalytic polymers.

Habitable Zones and UV Habitable Zones around Host Stars [PDF]
, 2010 Ultraviolet radiation is a double-edged sword to life. If it is too strong, the terrestrial biological systems will be damaged. And if it is too weak, the synthesis of many biochemical compounds can not go along. We try to obtain the continuous ultraviolet habitable zones, and compare the ultraviolet habitable zones with the habitable zones of host ...

Evaluating the persistence and utility of five wild Vitis species in the context of climate change
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6457-6472, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have the capacity to contribute novel traits to agriculture. Given climate change, these contributions may be especially vital for the persistence of perennial crops, because perennials are often clonally propagated and consequently do not evolve rapidly.

Circumbinary habitable zones in the presence of a giant planet [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Determining habitable zones in binary star systems can be a challenging task due to the combination of perturbed planetary orbits and varying stellar irradiation conditions. The concept of "dynamically informed habitable zones" allows us, nevertheless, to make predictions on where to look for habitable worlds in such complex environments.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Current knowledge of life in hypersaline habitats is mostly limited to sodium and chloride-dominated environments. This narrow compositional window does not reflect the diversity of brine environments that exist naturally on Earth and other planetary ...
