    Exoplanets

    How can we detect whether there is life on other planets?

    Research in cold regions on the Earth

    Are there places on Earth that are too cold or too dry for any form of life to exist? Can we define what life is?

    Jens-Martin-Knudsen Mars simulation chamber

    Jens-Martin-Knudsen Mars simulation chamber - control of the temperature, pressure, atmospheric composition, and radiation field.

    Exoplanets

    Which chemical reactions are important for the atmospheric structure?

    Milkyway

    Studies of the conditions on Earth, Mars, and exoplanets and how life affects the large-scale structure of their atmospheres.

    The Centre for ExoLife Sciences (CELS) is a collaboration between three institutes at University of Copenhagen, the Niels Bohr Institute, the Department of Biology, and the Department of Chemistry. The research is focused on studies of the conditions on Earth, Mars, and exoplanets and how life affects the large-scale structure of their atmospheres. More about CELS >>
