From Fossils to Astrobiology Records of Life on Earth and the Search for Extraterrestrial Biosignatures /
From Fossils to Astrobiology reviews developments in paleontology and geobiology that relate to the rapidly-developing field of Astrobiology, the study of life in the Universe. Many traditional areas of scientific study, including astronomy, chemistry and planetary science, contribute to Astrobiolog...
