Paleonet: AGU session B002. Advances in origin of life research

[Webster, Kevin D - (kevdwebs)]

Greetings Paleonet,

We invite you to submit an abstract to the 2017 AGU session, Advancements in origin of life research. The abstract submission site is now open<https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2017/abstract-submissions/>.

This session will address the conditions and pathways under which organic molecules begin to exhibit autocatalysis and the processes by which the information behind these chemical reactions can be stored. Novel insights from laboratory experiments, geological observations, and thermodynamic considerations are helping better understand how life originated on earth and may originate in the universe. Example areas of interest include: 1) Fossil evidence for the origin of life on earth, 2) Laboratory research, 3) Catalytic substrates, 4) Thermodynamics of ancient environments and chemical reactions, 5) The origin of a genetic code, and 6) Analysis of prebiotic chemical pathways.

Session Title: B002. Advances in origin of life research
Section/Focus Group: Biogeosciences
Session Link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session25705

Thanks for your time,

Kevin Webster and Patrick Griffin
