Serpentinization is potentially significant for the origin and evolution of life during the early history of Earth and possibly on other planets. The dependence of starting materials and their initial ...
Serpentinization is a process whereby water reacts with ultramafic mantle rock (peridotite) to produce a new suite of minerals (including serpentine), ultrabasic (pH≈12) fluid, molecular hydrogen and, ...
PROF. v. BEMMELEN recently asked me to calculate the thermal effect of Serpentinization of an upper layer of the mantle, if fresh peridotite is supplied through a process of convexion currents or mass ...
Deep in vents on the ocean floor, methane-producing microbes feed off chemical reactions between water and rock. Now evidence of this process has been found on land in a freshwater spring in ...
In April, two dozen geologists, microbiologists and other scientists will sail from Portugal aboard the Joides Resolution, a former oil drillship turned research vessel, to the Atlantis Massif, a ...
Serpentinite, a metamorphic rock of modest appearance, has not only been a material revered by ancient cultures, but modern science points to it as the possible setting for the planet’s first ...
The discovery of hydrothermal fields at ocean floor opens a new chapter for marine sciences. Fluids in hydrothermal fields are hot and acidic, where at least 400 different biological organisms have ...
