"Where Did All Earth's Water Come From?"

Dr. Ilaria Pascucci
Assistant Professor in the Department of Planetary Sciences

With oceans covering about 70% of its surface, Earth is a watery place. 
Liquid water has played an important role in the origin and development 
of terrestrial life, yet its origin and abundance remains an exciting 
and hotly debated question. I will review current ideas of how Earth got 
its water and discuss new insights coming from the study of 
protoplanetary disks and exoplanets.

This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30p.m. 
Parking in university surface parking lots is free after 5 p.m. Please 
be careful not to park in service or reserved spaces. Metered street 
parking is also available at no cost after 5 p.m. Parking in the Cherry 
Avenue Garage is available after 5 p.m. at a cost of $1.00 per hour.
