E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Life extends far deeper into the Earth's subsurface than presumed possible 30 years ago. In the past, it was assumed that life is a surface phenomenon, and that even “hardy prokaryotic types” are not capable of living deeper than tens of meters below the

Artificial subsurface lithoautotrophic microbial ecosystems and gas storage in deep subsurface. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol EcolAbstract Over the next few years, it is planned to convert all or part of the underground gas storage (UGS) facilities used for natural gas (salt caverns, depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, and deep aquifers) into underground dihydrogen (H2) storage reservoirs.

The potential for coupled organic and inorganic sulfur cycles across the terrestrial deep subsurface biosphere [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsOrganosulfur compounds (OrgS) are fundamental components of life’s biomass, yet the cycling of these compounds in the terrestrial deep subsurface, one of Earth’s largest ecosystems, has gone relatively unexplored.

Microbial Life in the Deep Subsurface Aquifer Illuminated by Metagenomics [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 To get insights into microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes in the terrestrial deep subsurface aquifer, we sequenced the metagenome of artesian water collected at a 2.8 km deep oil exploration borehole 5P in Western Siberia, Russia. We obtained

Progress and prospect of surface-wave imaging techniques in near-surface applications
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 Elastic properties of near-surface materials and their effects on seismic wave propagation are of fundamental interest in groundwater, engineering, and environmental studies. Shear-wave velocity is used to determine 'stiffness', one of the key properties
