This seminar explores the complex concept of exoplanetary habitability, presented by Dr. Guillaume Chaverot, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institut de Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG). Delve into the definition of habitability as a planet's potential to maintain surface liquid water—a necessary but insufficient condition for life as we know it. Discover why identifying such environments represents a crucial preliminary step toward detecting potential biosignatures, a primary goal of future missions like HWO and LIFE planned for 2040 and beyond. Gain insights into the current understanding of terrestrial exoplanet habitability, including established knowledge and critical unresolved questions that will shape observational strategies for temperate terrestrial planets. Join this European Astrobiology Institute (EAI) seminar on May 13th, 2025, at 16:00 CET for a 50-minute journey through this fascinating field.
