How did complex life emerge and evolve on the Earth and what does this mean for finding life beyond Earth? This is what ahopes to address as a pair of researchers investigated how plate tectonics, oceans, and continents are responsible for the emergence and evolution of complex life across our planet and how this could address theregarding why we haven’t found life in the universe and the parameters for finding life, respectively.
Additionally, the researchers investigated how planetary continents and oceans contribute to the evolution of intelligent life and technological civilizations. They noted the significance of life first evolving in oceans due to them being shielded from harmful space weather with single-celled life thriving in the oceans for the first few billion years of Earth’s history.
Dr. Gerya continues, “We plan to study water evolution in the planetary interior in order to understand how stability of surface ocean volume can be maintained for billions of years . We also plan to investigate the survival time of technological civilizations based on societal collapse models.
