地球与太空探索科学学士学位（天文生物学和生物地球科学）

地球和太空探索专业的人正在发现有关我们的星球，太阳系和宇宙的新发现。占星生物学和生物地球科学专业的学生正在建造太空飞行硬件，进行天文观测，发现新微生物，探索极端环境并研究其他行星的可居住性。天体生物学研究宇宙中生命的起源，演变，分布和未来。生物地球科学着眼于当前和过去的地球上生物和地质过程的相互作用。这些主题密切相关，因为生物地球科学的概念为行星宜居性的研究和对宜居世界的探索提供了信息。因此，旨在研究和探索地质与生物过程之间的相互作用，这种相互作用如何维持地球上的生命以及如何在其他行星上运行的地球物理学和
Astrobiology studies the origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. Biogeoscience focuses on the interaction of biological, geological and chemical processes on Earth in the present, past and future. These topics are closely related because the concepts of biogeoscience inform the study of planetary habitability and the search for habitable worlds.<br><br>Therefore, the astrobiology and biogeoscience concentration in the BS program in earth and space exploration is designed to offer students a strong foundation for exploring the interaction of geological and biological processes and understanding how such interactions sustain life on Earth and how they might operate on other planets. Those with this necessary scientific background contribute to the search for life on other planets, explore the life of extreme environments here on Earth and better understand how life on Earth responds to past, current and future global changes.
