Abiotic Hydrogen And Hydrocarbons In Planetary Lithospheres, February 2020, Vol. 16, No. 1
$20.00
Molecular hydrogen (H2), methane, and hydrocarbons with an apparent abiotic origin have been observed in a variety of geologic settings, including serpentinized ultramafic rocks, submarine hydrothermal vents, and deep fractures within ancient cratons. Recent discoveries have reported the presence of hydrogen emanating from the icy crust of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, and methane in the atmosphere of Mars.
Abiotic Hydrogen And Hydrocarbons In Planetary Lithospheres
February 2020, Vol. 16, No. 1
Molecular hydrogen (H2), methane, and hydrocarbons with an apparent abiotic origin have been observed in a variety of geologic settings, including serpentinized ultramafic rocks, submarine hydrothermal vents, and deep fractures within ancient cratons. Recent discoveries have reported the presence of hydrogen emanating from the icy crust of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, and methane in the atmosphere of Mars. Owing in large part to the utilization of hydrogen and methane by chemosynthetic biological communities on Earth (and maybe other planetary bodies), geologic production of these compounds has become the subject of intense scientific study. Geologically produced hydrogen and methane are also of interest as possible energy resources. This issue highlights recent developments in the understanding of geologic sources of hydrogen and methane, the biological utilization of these compounds, and the potential for human exploitation of these resources.
