Read an exclusive interview with Professor Vera Kolb here.

 

 

 

 

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life on Earth. This exciting and significant field of research also investigates the potential existence and search for extra-terrestrial life in the Solar System and beyond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the first handbook in this burgeoning and interdisciplinary field. Edited by Vera Kolb, a highly respected astrobiologist, this comprehensive resource captures the history and current state of the field. Rich in information and easy to use, it assumes basic knowledge and provides answers to questions from practitioners and specialists in the field, as well as providing key references for further study.

閱讀與維拉·科爾布教授的獨家訪談在這裡。

天體生物學是研究地球上生命的起源、演化、分佈和未來的學科。這個令人興奮且重要的研究領域還探討了在太陽系及更遠的地方潛在的外星生命的存在及其搜尋。

這是這個新興且跨學科領域的第一本手冊。由備受尊敬的天體生物學家維拉·科爾布編輯，這本綜合資源捕捉了該領域的歷史和現狀。內容豐富且易於使用，假設讀者具備基本知識，並提供了來自實務工作者和專家的問題解答，同時提供進一步研究的關鍵參考資料。

特色：


  • 填補市場上的重要空白，提供該領域的綜合概述

  • 由該主題的權威編輯，章節由涵蓋天體生物學多個不同領域的專家撰寫

  • 對這個令人興奮的領域進行深入且廣泛的覆蓋，未來幾十年將愈加重要

作者簡介

Vera M. Kolb earned a BS in Chemical Engineering and an MS in organic chemistry from Belgrade University, followed by a PhD in organic chemistry at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. She was a Chemistry Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside from 1985-2016, and is now a Professor Emeritus. During her first sabbatical leave (1992-1994) she received training in astrobiology (then termed exobiology) at the NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in San Diego, where she has worked with Leslie Orgel at the Salk Institute, and Stanley Miller, at the University of California San Diego.

 

 

She has worked in the field of astrobiology ever since. In 1992 she received the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Activity. During her second sabbatical (2002-2003) she studied sugar organo-silicates and their astrobiological importance with Joseph Lambert, at Northwestern University. She was inducted in the Southeastern Wisconsin Educators' Hall of Fame in 2002. She is a recipient of numerous research and higher education grants and awards from the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium/NASA, among others. At this time, she has published over 150 articles, including patents and books, in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and astrobiology.

 

 

 

 

She has edited a book "Astrobiology, An Evolutionary Approach", for CRC Press, which was published in 2014. Her second book, "Green Organic Chemistry and its Interdisciplinary Applications", was published in 2016, also by CRC Press. Since both astrobiology and green chemistry study organic reactions in water, as in the primordial soup for astrobiology and as a benign solvent in green chemistry, the relationship between these two fields speaks of their true interdisciplinary characters.

 

 

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

維拉·M·科爾布於貝爾格萊德大學獲得化學工程學士學位及有機化學碩士學位，隨後在南伊利諾伊大學卡本代爾校區獲得有機化學博士學位。她曾於1985年至2016年擔任威斯康辛大學帕克賽德分校的化學教授，現在是名譽教授。在她的第一次休假（1992-1994年）期間，她在位於聖地亞哥的NASA專門研究與訓練中心（NSCORT）接受了天體生物學（當時稱為外生物學）的訓練，並與萊斯利·奧格爾在索爾克研究所及斯坦利·米勒在加州大學聖地亞哥分校合作。

自那時起，她一直在天體生物學領域工作。1992年，她獲得威斯康辛大學帕克賽德分校的研究與創意活動卓越獎。在她的第二次休假（2002-2003年）期間，她與西北大學的約瑟夫·蘭伯特研究糖有機矽酸鹽及其在天體生物學中的重要性。她於2002年被納入東南威斯康辛教育者名人堂。她獲得了來自威斯康辛太空獎助金聯盟/NASA等多個研究和高等教育的獎助金和獎項。目前，她已發表超過150篇文章，包括專利和書籍，涵蓋有機化學、藥物化學和天體生物學。

她編輯了CRC出版社於2014年出版的書籍《天體生物學：一種進化方法》。她的第二本書《綠色有機化學及其跨學科應用》也由CRC出版社於2016年出版。由於天體生物學和綠色化學都研究水中的有機反應，無論是在天體生物學的原始湯中，還是作為綠色化學中的良性溶劑，這兩個領域之間的關係顯示了它們真正的跨學科特性。
