In this section we invite scientifically-minded contributors to discuss practical issues around settlement on Terra Two. Scientists—botanists, ecologists, geographers, astrophysicists, astrobiologists, zoologists, entomologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, geologists, microbiologists, physicists, nutritionists, engineers—what will we need to know and do in order to survive, both in the short term and in the long term?

Papers in this section should be 500-1500 words. We look forward to reading your practical advice and insights. Once you have completed your response to the question posed above, please send it to the Terra Two editorial team for consideration through the Online Submission Form on the About page. We will accept high quality work which follows this brief. We invite submissions from YSJ staff members and students and from selected guest contributors outside our institution. Please include a 50 word biography and photograph. Please follow an established referencing system for citations and bibliographic details.

Let’s join our many voices together in order to create a mutually sustaining reality, next time around! We look forward to reading your work with great anticipation.

 

Under this heading Terra Two will also provide useful links to other projects or papers related to the practical aspects of moving off-world; please see below, and email yorkstjohnterratwo@gmail.com or contact us on @YSJTerra2 with useful links!
