TREC-NEXSS
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
January 12–14, 2026
This workshop will bring together astronomers, planetary scientists, and geochemists to explore how planetary geochemical cycles influence the biosignatures we may observe in the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. With upcoming observatories such as JWST and HWO, understanding these cycles is key to interpreting gases like O2 and CH4 as potential signs of life.
