1. 1. Antarctic Subglacial Lakes as Environmental Analogues for Possible Hidden Biospheres on the Moons Europa and Enceladus

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jonas Fahlman; [2023]
   Keywords : astrobiology; icy moons; subglacial lakes; ice dynamics; thermal regimes; extremophiles; anthropogenic contamination; astrobiologi; ismånar; subglaciala sjöar; is-dynamik; termiska regimer; extremofiler; antropologisk kontaminering;

   Abstract : The evolving science of astrobiology for the search for life beyond Earth has put focus on the possibility of subsurface bodies of liquid water beneath the surface of icy moons within our Solar System. Specifically, the Jovian moon of Europa and the Saturnian moon of Enceladus show telling characteristics of endogenous heating through their complex tidal resonances with their parent planets – suggesting the presence of oceans of liquid water and therefore a potential for astrobiology.

3. 2. Methods and Approaches for Biogenicity Determination in Geological Samples - Implications for Extraterrestrial Search for Life

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Alexandra Zetterlind; [2018]
   Keywords : Biogenicity; microscopy; fossilized microorganisms; astrobiology; Biogenecitet; mikroskopering; fossiliserade mikroorganismer; astrobiologi;

   Abstract : For a better understanding of how to search for an extraterrestrial life, scientists study hidden biospheres on Earth. The subseafloor crust is recognized as a vast microbial habitat and it is hypothesized that extremophilic microorganisms, occurring there, can be the first living organisms on Earth. READ MORE
