ABOUT CHRISTOPHER'S WORK
Christopher Chyba is an astrobiologist and a policy analyst who explores the origins of life on Earth and proposes strategies for protecting human civilization from self-destruction. Chyba’s scientific efforts focus on understanding the conditions that spawned terrestrial life. For example, he has analyzed the geological record to document the role of asteroids and comets in delivering organic molecules to the surface of the early Earth. From the record of more recent asteroid strikes, Chyba has identified the interpretive challenges of using seismic observations to monitor compliance of the nuclear test-ban treaty. He has also advocated linking the preparation for biological terrorism with the larger challenge of improving public health infrastructure and reporting.
BIOGRAPHY
Christopher Chyba received a B.A. (1982) from Swarthmore College, a B.A. (1984) and an M.Phil. (1986) from the University of Cambridge, and a Ph.D. (1991) from Cornell University. He is a professor of astrophysical sciences and international affairs at Princeton University, where he also directs the Program on Science and Global Security at the Woodrow Wilson School. He was previously the Carl Sagan Chair at the SETI Institute, co-director for the Center for International Security and Cooperation, and an associate professor of geological and environmental sciences at Stanford University.

关于克里斯托弗的工作
Christopher Chyba是一位天体生物学家和政策分析家,他探索地球上生命的起源,并提出保护人类文明免遭自我毁灭的策略。Chyba的科学努力集中在了解催生陆地生命的条件。例如,他分析了地质记录,以记录小行星和彗星在向早期地球表面输送有机分子方面的作用。从最近的小行星撞击记录中,Chyba发现了使用地震观测来监测核禁试条约的遵守情况所面临的解释上的挑战。他还主张把对生物恐怖主义的准备工作与改善公共卫生基础设施和报告的更大挑战联系起来。
