This volume is the fourth in the series of the Proceedings of the
College Park Colloquia on Chemical Evolution. These Colloquia, and
the resulting Proceedings, are presented in the interest of
fostering the impact of the interdisciplinary nature of chemical
evolu tion on contemporary scientific thought. vii
EDITORS'INTRODUCTION The Fourth College Park Colloquium on Chemical
Evolution was held on October 18 - 20, 1978 at the University of
Maryland. The meeting, supported by the National Aero nautics and
Space Administration and the National Science Foundation, centered
on the variable environments, both past and present, in which
living organisms have survived, grown, and evolved - the limits of
life. Previous colloquia had emphasized the Giant Planets (1974) 1,
Early Life during the Precambrian (1975)2 and Comparative
Planetology (1976)3. The College Park Colloquia have been noted for
the broad interdisciplinary nature of the training and interests of
the participants. The fourth meeting was no ex ception with the
participation of approximately 85 researchers, representing many
academic fields. As with previous meetings, the interdisciplinary
approach to the question of the limits of life encouraged the
exchange of knowledge and information. A major scientific
aspiration is to understand why living systems are restricted to
certain environments."
