Following the Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS) goal to investigate how exoplanet history, geology, and climate interact to create the conditions for life and bio-signature detection, the workshop aims to address the following four questions and sub-topics:

What are the properties of habitable planets?

• Habitable zones and habitability
• Climate models
• Stellar properties (type, age)
• Star-planet interactions

What would they look like?

• Earth science
• Solar System planets (e.g. Mars, Venus, Europa)
• Biosignatures

How do we find and characterize find them?

• RV
• Transits
• TTV
• Direct imaging
• Solar system probe missions
• Improving statistical methodology

How do they form and what are their histories?

• Planet formation
• Protoplanetary and debris disks
• Small solar system bodies
• Meteoritics
