Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The program for this semester is split into two parts.

During the first half of the semester, we will have general discussions about habitability and habitable conditions on planets. Presentations by institute staff and/or external speakers are possible.

In the second half of the semester, the students will lead discussions on a number of topics related to the subject, for example including
evolution of planetary atmospheres; the role of the central star; outgassing, volcanism and atmospheric chemistry; habitability on specific
solar-system planets and exoplanetary systems; planetary system dynamics and collisions during planet formation; and more topics.
Students will select from a pool of scientific papers and research topics and present a summary to the course participants.
Each topic will have an advisor and students are strongly encouraged to discuss paper selection and presentation details with their advisor prior to presenting to the rest of the class.
