I Was Interviewed by New Scientist About Our New Paper in GRL on Venus Climate History

November 11, 2016 By David

“Venus could have been habitable while life evolved on Earth”

This story describes a publication in Geophysical Research Letters on which I was co-author.
The punch line is that Venus may have been a habitable planet for much longer than we thought – possibly for most of its history!!

“It’s one of the big mysteries about Venus. How did it get so different from Earth when it seems likely to have started so similarly?” says David Grinspoon at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. “The question becomes richer when you consider astrobiology, the possibility that Venus and Earth were very similar during the time of the origin of life on Earth.” – Aviva Rutkin, New Scientist
