UT Center for Planetary Systems Habitability

The Center for Planetary Systems Habitability is an interdisciplinary research center located virtually at The University of Texas at Austin. The Center is the result of a partnership between the College of Natural Sciences, the Jackson School of Geosciences, and the Cockrell School of Engineering.

Our vision is to collaborate across departmental and school/college boundaries to understand where and how habitable zones develop and evolve within planetary systems. This research will integrate planetary dynamics with habitability studies and astrobiology, including the development and persistence of life on Earth and how we would find and recognize life on other worlds.

Our core philosophy is to take an integrative systems science approach to better understand planetary habitability across space and time.
