2025 Lecture Series: Dr. Aomawa Sheilds

The Search for Life Beyond Earth

“Are we alone in the universe?” Dr. Aomawa Shields searches for clues of another planet where life might exist. Drawing from her background in astrobiology, she models the possible climates of distant exoplanets. In this fascinating talk that brings audiences into her research process, she shows how she uses computer-generated climate models to explore contradictions and to calculate the kind of atmosphere a planet would need to have a suitable climate for water and life.
