Huge Variation in H2 Generation During Seawater Alteration of Ultramafic Rocks

Abstract Water‐rock reactions liberate bioavailable energy, a necessary condition for chemotrophic habitability and origins of life. The major minerals of ultramafic (UM) rocks: olivine (ol), orthopyroxene (opx), and clinopyroxene (cpx), are of particular astrobiological interest as they are widespr...
