Cosmecology

/ˌkɔzməˈkɑːlədʒi/ noun

Definition

The study or science of the universe and its ecological principles; cosmic ecology or the application of ecological thinking to universal systems.

Etymology

From cosmos (universe) + ecology (study of organisms and environments), combining Greek kosmos and oikos (household/environment). A rare modern term blending cosmology with ecology.

Kelly Says

Cosmecology is an emerging field asking wild questions—if we found life on other planets, how would alien ecosystems work and what universal ecological laws might apply everywhere?
