Water-rock reaction may provide enough hydrogen 鈥榝ood鈥� to sustain life in cool parts of the ocean鈥檚 crust or on Mars

May 30, 2013

A chemical reaction between iron-containing minerals and water may produce enough hydrogen 鈥渇ood鈥� to sustain microbial communities living in pores and cracks within the enormous volume of rock below the ocean floor and parts of the continents, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The findings, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, also hint at the possibility that hydrogen-dependent life could have existed where iron-rich igneous rocks on Mars were once in contact with water.
