More on Halophiles

Halophiles in astrobiology

Check out this video of a recent presentation at the University of Washington’s Theodore Jacobson Observatory on extremophiles (including halophiles), and their relevance to the field of astrobiology.  The slides may be difficult to view on the video, so a separate pdf is provided of the slides.

 

The video is 45 minutes in length, and in the .wmv format.
