- 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.
Projects
- 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.
