The biosphere is a thin envelope of life on Earth, whose physical limits are established by the restricted physical and chemical space that life can occupy. Professor Cockell will describe experiments from his lab investigating these limits, including microbial tolerance to ionic extremes and survival under extreme desiccation. He will also discuss how microbial capacities in extreme environments may support future human settlement in space, highlighting recent biomining experiments conducted on the International Space Station.

This talk is part of the Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology series.
