Nathalie Cabrol : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nathalie Cabrol Nathalie A. Cabrol is a French American astrobiologist, an extreme diver and mountaineer, specializing in planetary science. Cabrol is best known for her studies of ancient lakes on Mars, and for her high altitude scientific expeditions in the Central Andes of Chile as the Principal Investigator of the "High Lakes Project" funded by the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI). There, with her team, she documents life’s adaptation to extreme environments, the effect of rapid climate change on lake ecosystems and habitats, its geobiological signatures, and relevance to planetary exploration. She is the Principal Investigator of the SETI Institute NAI team, which was selected in October 2014 to develop new biosignature detection and exploration strategies in support of the upcoming Mars 2020 mission. She was appointed in August 2015 to head the SETI Institute’s Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe. ==Early life and career== Cabrol was born near Paris, France. She attended Nanterre University and the Sorbonne (Master’s degree; Ph.D., 1991). In 1986 she became the first person to extensively study the Gusev Crater on Mars. She attracted the interest and praise of Valery Barsukov of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, who invited her to Moscow to give a lecture.〔 Between 1985 and 1994 Cabrol conducted planetary geology research with her husband, Edmond Grin at the Paris-Sorbonne University and Observatoire de Paris-Meudon of France. As their lab was being shut down in 1994, a visit from NASA scientist Chris McKay resulted in Cabrol's move to the US that same year as a NASA postdoctoral researcher. She and her husband decided to remain in the country and became US citizens.〔 Cabrol was the spokesperson for the selection of Gusev crater as the landing location of NASA’s ''“Spirit”'' rover on Mars.〔 In 1998, she became a NASA contractor through the SETI Institute, continued her Mars research there and was elevated in August 7, 2015 to the Director of the Carl Sagan Center.
