Kinohi Institute, Inc.Mars colony, colonize Mars, human colonization of Mars, human exploration of Mars, climate changeResearch and Exploration into the Origin, Evolution, and Complexity of Life“Understanding the origin of life and its distribution in the Universe is too important to leave to adults.” From conversations with Alec, age 5, circa 1996
The institute is comprised of an international consortium of scientists and engineers particularly interested in the ability of microbial life to survive and adapt in the ices of Earth's cryosphere. Much of the Institute's work centers on developing non-destructive, non-contact technology capable of finding life living within these icy ecosystems and similar habitats on other worlds.

International interdisciplinary team exploring Lake Untersee, high in the mountains of Dronning Maud Land, Russian Sector, Antarctica. This meromictic lake, covered with ice for at least 10,000 years, hosts a rich photosynthetic microbial community within the ice of the lake.
The Institute is a California non-profit 501c organization devoted to exploration, research and education. For further information contact Michael C.
