The symposium lectures given
by renowned specialists in the field will focus on recent progress in the knowledge of structure, biogenesis and function of important pigment — protein complexes participating in
oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis.
Simple biogeochemical flux modeling suggests that, if the Archean Earth was kept warm
by a methane greenhouse, then the evolution of
oxygenic photosynthesis could have triggered a Snowball Earth event on a time scale as short as about a million years (Kopp et al., 2005).
At GISS, through membership in the Virtual Planetary Laboratory team of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, research
by Nancy Kiang is probing the long wavelength limit of
oxygenic photosynthesis.
