DESCRIPTION:Habitability is a prerequisite for life. It implies that plane
 tary processes must bring together the appropriate ingredients\, energy so
 urces\, and environmental conditions in order to originate and subsequentl
 y sustain life. At this unprecedented time in the field of astrobiology\, 
 with an astounding array of rovers\, orbiters\, satellites\, and telescope
 s exploring worlds beyond Earth\, we know more about the nature and evolut
 ion of planetary habitability than at any time in human history. In this p
 resentation\, I will leverage my experience as part of the Mars Science La
 boratory Curiosity rover team and investigations of analogous environments
  on Earth to discuss how the Martian surface evolved from a warmer\, wette
 r\, habitable environment to the cold\, dry conditions we see on the plane
 t today.
