The ultimate goal is to establish the criteria in identifying the existence of microbial life in geothermal environments. Students will focus on the learning the fundamental knowledge and experimental technique through literature review and discussion and laboratory practice in the initial phase. A project will be developed in the later phase using the materials from the carbonate rich hot springs and their associated carbonate minerals in the eastern Taiwan. Students will start with the problem identification, followed with establishment of hypothesis, design of field sampling and experiment, analysis and observation, data integration, and result and model demonstration. The integrated project will also encompass and share the resources and expertise with the following laboratories: Dr. Kuo of Atmospheric Science for the mathematical modeling and stability analysis; Dr. Yu of Zoology for the analysis of microbial communities in hot springs; Dr. Sun of Astrophysics for the exploration of life in other planets; Dr. Li of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics for the image processing; and Dr. Kang of Civil Engineering for data visualization.極端生物天體生物陸域溫泉extremophileastrobiology and terrestrial hot spring
