Research
Various research topics related to astrobiology are pursued at the
Department of Earth and Space Sciences (Chalmers) and Onsala Space
Observatory. These include past searches for large organic molecules
with the OSO 20 metre telescope, as well as more general investigations
in astrochemistry. In particular, members of our group are interested
in the chemical evolution of comets, planetary atmospheres, and
planet-forming regions of interstellar clouds, including planetary
disks, as they relate to conditions on the primitive Earth and to the
wide range of environments possible elsewhere in our solar system and
in extrasolar planets. There is also active interest in promoting future
space missions related to these areas of research. We already collaborate
with scientists at the NASA Ames Research Center, but would also like
to seek collaborations with scientists of the other present NAI nodes
and institutes of the Nordic contries as well.
