X-WR-CALDESC:The Silicon Valley Lectures Series - In Person\n\n On Wednesda
 y\, November 15\, 2023 at 7 pm (PST)\, Dr. Laura Schaefer (Stanford U) wil
 l give a free\, illustrated\, non-technical lecture entitled:    \n'Water 
 Above\, Water Below\, Water Within: The Many Roles of Water in Making Plan
 ets Habitable'  \n \nThe talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lect
 ure Series\, now in its 24th year in the Smithwick Theater at Foothill Col
 lege\, in Los Altos (see directions below)  .   \n\nWater is everywhere. I
 ts atoms\, hydrogen and oxygen\, are the first and fifth most abundant ele
 ments in the universe. Water is found in abundance in many environments\; 
 it finds its way into planets of all shapes and sizes\, where it modifies 
 the properties of everything it touches. Water is crucial to life\, both a
 s a habitat and as a solvent. But it also has many other roles in the evol
 ution of habitable and uninhabitable environments on a planetary scale. In
  this talk\, Dr. Schaefer will discuss the ways in which Earth acquired it
 s water\, how water modifies the evolution and habitability of the Earth\,
  and how the habitability of rocky planets orbiting other stars may be dif
 ferent.   \n\nLaura Schaefer is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Planet
 ary Sciences at Stanford University. She is a planetary scientist who focu
 ses on how gases and rocks react with each other to form the atmospheres o
 f rocky planets\, both inside and outside the Solar System. She is fascina
 ted by lava worlds and the volcanic moon Io\, as well as the distant past 
 of planet Earth and its neighbors Venus and Mars.   \n\n------------------
