    Introduction the Age of Biology

    INTRODUCTION THE AGE OF BIOLOGY An organism is the product of its genetic constitution and its en- vironment . no matter how uniform plants are genotypically, they cannot be phenotypically uniform or reproducible, unless they have developed under strictly uniform conditions. — Frits Went, 1957 A LITERARY and cinematic sensation, Andy Weir’s The Martian is engi- neering erotica. The novel thrills with minute technical details of com- munications, rocket fuel, transplanetary orbital calculations, and botany. The action concerns a lone astronaut left on Mars struggling to survive for 1,425 days using only the materials that equipped a 6-person, 30-day mission. Food is an early crisis: the astronaut has only 400 days of meals plus 12 whole potatoes. Combining his expertise in botany and engineer- ing, the astronaut first works to create in his Mars habitat the perfect Earth conditions for his particular potatoes, namely, a temperature of 25.5°C, plenty of light, and 250 liters of water. Consequently, his potatoes grow at a predicted rate to maturity in 40 days, thus successfully conjur- ing sufficient food to last until his ultimate rescue at the end of the novel. Unlike so many of the technical details deployed throughout the novel, the ideal conditions for growing potatoes are just a factoid. Whereas readers of the novel get to discover how to make water in a process oc- cupying twenty pages, the discovery of the ideal growing conditions of the particular potatoes brought to Mars is given one line.1 Undoubtedly, making water from rocket fuel is tough, but getting a potato’s maximum 3 © 2017 University of Pittsburgh Press.

    Heterogeneous Accretion: Some Results of the Computer Modeling

    THE EIGHTH MOSCOW SOLAR SYSTEM SYMPOSIUM 2017 8MS3-PA-01 HETEROGENEOUS ACCRETION: SOME RESULTS OF THE COMPUTER MODELING (Dedicated to the memory of Tobias Owen) M.Ya. Marov, S.I. Ipatov Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Kosygin st., 19, Moscow 119991, Russia, [email protected] KEYWORDS: heterogeneous accretion, migration, planetesimals, matter delivery, water, vol- atiles, terrestrial planets INTRODUCTION: Toby Owen contributed in many important fields of planetary sciences involv- ing both theoretical research and experimental results returned by space mis- sions. It was a great privilege to discuss with him the most challenging ideas concerning the structure and composition of atmospheres of inner and outer planets, specifically isotopic ratios of noble gases on Mars and Venus aiming to reveal origin and evolution of these planets. Here we address one of these pioneering ideas discussed by Toby Owen in the paper co-authored by F. Anders and published in Science magazine as early as in 1977 [1]. Authors attempted to explain lacking of water and other vola- tiles on Earth after its accum ulation invoking a postulated migration process of volatile-rich bodies from periphery of the solar system at the later phase of its evolution, mainly in the course of Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) dated around 4 billion years ago. Delivery such a matter and its layered sedimentation (late veneer) on the inner planets’ surface the authors called the mechanism of heterogeneous accretion. The idea drew attention and took further development including computer modeling to ensure its more rigorous support. Results of the study can be found in the numerous publications showing the great advancement in the field (see, e.g., [2, 3] and references therein).

INTRODUCTION The problem of climate change has captured the attention of scholars and advocates from diverse academic disciplines that would ordinarily have little in common.1 Part of the reason for this is the sheer magnitude of the problem.2 According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there is evidence that current climate change patterns will produce “irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system.”3 Among many Professor of Law, University of Illinois College of Law. For helpful comments and conversations, I am grateful to Charlotte Ku, Shirley Scott, and Verity Winship. 1 The scholarly literature on climate change is enormous and growing, and a thorough review is beyond the scope of this Article.
