"Where Did All Earth's Water Come From?"
With oceans covering about 70% of its surface, Earth is a watery place. Liquid water has played an important role in the origin and development of terrestrial life, yet its origin and abundance remains an exciting and hotly debated question. I will review current ideas of how Earth got its water and discuss new insights coming from the study of protoplanetary disks and exoplanets.
