The overarching theme of our research is to investigate the origin and cycles of life-essential elements (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus – COHNSP) in young rocky planets. Based on our understanding of our own solar system and habitable planet Earth, we plan to identify where habitable niches are most likely to occur, which planets are most likely to be habitable and when in their evolutionary history such conditions of habitability are most likely. We are supported by NASA and are one of teams in the Nexus of Exoplanetary Systems Science (NExSS) research networkAnnouncementsRecent NewsJan 31, 2022Earth isn’t ‘super’ because the sun had rings before planetsRead moreNov 25, 2021Orbital structure places an upper limit on late accretion of TRAPPIST-1 planetsRead moreMay 10, 2021How planets form controls elements essential for lifeRead moreView All NewsRecent PublicationsNature Astronomy:Planetesimal rings as the cause of the Solar System’s planetary architectureMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society:The ‘Breaking The Chains’ migration model for super-Earths formation: the effect of collisional fragmentationNature Astronomy:An upper limit on late accretion and water delivery in the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanet systemCommunications Earth & Environment:Earth’s core could be the largest terrestrial carbon reservoirView All PublicationsUpcoming Events Comments are closed.
