SUMMARY:Building a habitable planet: an emerging view of volatile chem
 istry in planet-forming disks\, Public Research Seminar\, Jennifer Ber
 gner\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Planets form within disks composed of gas\, ice\, and dust
  in orbit around young stars. The distribution of volatiles (gas+ice) 
 within these disks profoundly impacts both the chemical and physical o
 utcomes of planet formation-- including the delivery of prebiotic buil
 ding blocks to new worlds.  In this talk\, I will highlight our recent
  advances in disentangling how organic complexity is built up during t
 he star and planet formation sequence\, the role of interstellar inher
 itance in setting disk volatile compositions\, and the distinctive vol
 atile chemistry at play during the planet formation epoch.  These insi
 ghts are gained by combining telescope observations\, ice chemistry ex
 periments\, and disk chemistry simulations\, each of which contributes
  an indispensable piece of the puzzle.  Taken together\, we are assemb
 ling a more complete picture of the chemical environment which regulat
 es the formation\, composition\, and potential habitability of planete
 simals and planets.
