Early Earth, Mars and Venus as Exoplanets (EASE)
The era of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened a new chapter in exoplanetary research. We cannot understand exoplanets without looking back at the cradle of life as we know it - the Earth. Why did the Earth become a habitable planet? Why did Mars and Venus evolve differently? What would JWST see if it looked at the solar system planets as they were billions of years ago? My team will investigate the long-term evolution of the atmospheres and spectral fingerprints of Earth, Venus, and Mars. I propose a unique joint evolutionary study of volcanism, atmospheric escape to space, and spectroscopy. My team will use numerical models at the cutting edge of modern development and…
