The Unbelievable Lead-Melting Surface Temperature of Venus with Dr. Amber Young

Подробнее о видео

Our guest is Dr. Amber Young, a Pathways Research Assistant in the Planetary Systems Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center! As an Astrobiologist, Dr. Young uses climate and photochemical modeling tools to model the atmospheres of terrestrial planets to understand and characterize signatures that are indicative of life. In particular, Amber is interested in characterizing the detectability of known biosignature gases (e.g., O2, CH4) and chemical disequilibrium signatures using atmospheric modeling and retrieval analysis techniques. She is also engaged in developing observational strategies for characterizing habitable exoplanets using an observational decision tree framework approach applicable to future direct imaging missions.



What is Ask An Astrobiologist?
Once a month, the NASA Astrobiology Program host a one-hour program where the public is invited to interact with a high-profile astrobiologist, who replies to YouTube comments & questions live on video.
