The search for life unites multiple disciplines: The Earth Sciences look back in time to the history of life on Earth; the planetary sciences look across the solar system planets for the possibility of present or past life; and with exoplanets we are now reaching beyond the solar system, to understand whether biology lies beneath the atmospheres of these distant worlds. In this talk we will discuss the prospects within each of these fields for finding life and how they are fundamentally linked in this quest.
