1. Primitive surface environments on Earth/Mars (Astrobiology)

Here I experimentally examine fine-grained basalt-water interactions under a high pCO₂ atmosphere that generate H₂ gas, amorphous clay mineral precursors and simple organics.

1. Fossilization and biosignature preservation mechanisms

Here I examine how silicification, carbonate mineral formation and clay mineral formation each may work to help preserve cellular remains.
