19 -- Future SETI: Technologies, Techniques and Strategies

Description
The vast range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the wide range of potential signaling methods make comprehensive searches for extraterrestrial signals difficult. Perhaps because of this, in nearly five decades of SETI searches no indications of extraterrestrial civilization have been seen. Expanding technologies and new instruments can help close the gaps in the SETI search space. New techniques, such as detecting extraterrestrial artifacts, or atmospheric modification on extra-solar planets, could result in success where searches for signals fail. Creative search strategies increase the probability of a detection by focusing on likely targets or regions of the Galaxy where communicating civilizations are more likely to exist. In this session we will explore new technologies and techniques and discuss strategies for increasing the probabilities of detecting an alien civilization.
