This conference talk titled "Exploring the chemical diversity in the planet-forming zones of disks with JWST" features Sierra Grant from the Carnegie Institution presenting research as part of the Planets on the Edge KITP conference held from May 5-8, 2025 at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara. Discover insights into the chemical composition of planet-forming regions through James Webb Space Telescope observations. The 39-minute presentation contributes to the conference's broader goals of understanding Earth-sized planets in inner protoplanetary disks, addressing questions about the nature of close-in rocky planets and their atmospheres, formation mechanisms, governing parameters across star systems, and why similar planets don't exist in our solar system. The conference brought together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to synthesize current knowledge and advance observations, theory, and computational modeling in this field.
