Welcome to the Astrobiology Society of Britain
From the origins of life to a human presence on other planetary surfaces, from the effects of asteroid and comet impacts on the Earth's environment to the search for life elsewhere, the field of astrobiology covers scientific questions and problems that require inter-disciplinary connections between biological and space sciences.
Mission Statements
The Astrobiology Society of Britain, founded in March 2003, serves its members and the astrobiology community as a whole in the UK in fostering links between the various and many disciplines that comprise the science of astrobiology in order to ensure that astrobiology research in the UK is vigorous, progressive and successful. It seeks to provide a mechanism for members of the astrobiology community to meet, collaborate, make the community aware of UK astrobiology activities, and encourage new students and researchers into the field. It seeks to act as a professional society to organise and co-sponsor meetings and provide an environment favourable for the development of inter-disciplinary connections between biological and space sciences.

Cambridge University Press Astrobiology SeriesCall for Proposals
Astrobiology has recently experienced a great surge of interest within the wide scientific community involving both space and non-space disciplines. Cambridge University Press recognises the importance of this emerging field, and the need to exchange information between distant researchers in seemingly disparate fields. The Cambridge Astrobiology series aims to facilitate the communication of recent advances in astrobiology, and to foster the development of scientists conversant in the wide array of disciplines needed to carry astrobiology forward. Cambridge University Press invites the members of the Astrobiology Society of Brtain to submit proposals for books to complement this expanding series. Potential authors are encouraged to read this document and contact the series editors for informal discussion. Astrobiology discount We are pleased to announce a special subscription offer for Astrobiology to members of the Astrobiology Society of Britain. Two deeply discounted 2008 subscriptions options are available, Print and Online for $99 or Online only for $79.The Living Cosmos
Chris Impey is a professor of astronomy at University of Arizona, and has done a fine job with this latest effort at bringing astrobiology to the popular science market. Impey has clearly done his research thoroughly, and interviewed a great number of the key scientists whilst writing the book. EANA07 - 7th European Workshop on Astrobiology
Success for the 2nd ASB Conference
About Astrobiology 'Astrobiology' is the term that covers a broad set of questions linking biological and space sciences.
