Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 305-323., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Astrobiology in Space: A Comprehensive Look at the Solar System
Life, 2023 The field of astrobiology aims to understand the origin of life on Earth and searches for evidence of life beyond our planet. Although there is agreement on some of the requirements for life on Earth, the exact process by which life emerged from ...

Adaptations of endolithic communities to abrupt environmental changes in a hyper-arid desert
Scientific Reports, 2022 The adaptation mechanisms of microbial communities to natural perturbations remain unexplored, particularly in extreme environments. The extremophilic communities of halite (NaCl) nodules from the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are self-sustained ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 In the search for life on other planets, the presence of photosynthetic surface vegetation may be detectable from the colors of light it reflects. On the modern Earth, this spectral reflectance is characterized by a steep increase in reflectance between ...

Bacterial Metal Accumulation as a Strategy for Waste Recycling Management
Resources, 2023 Sustainable mechanisms for efficient and circular metal recycling have yet to be uncovered. In this study, the metal recycling potential of seven metal-resistant bacterial species (Deinococcus radiodurans, Deinococcus aerius, Bacillus coagulans ...

A False Encounter: An Interspecies Martian Tale [PDF]
Pulse, 2021 This project concerns a fictional scenario in which an AI rover encounters an alien life form in the crevices of a Martian rock. The seconds in which this encounter takes place are mysteriously wiped out from the rover’s Pancam metadata. It is speculated

“Freezing” Thermophiles: From One Temperature Extreme to Another
Microorganisms, 2022 New detections of thermophiles in psychrobiotic (i.e., bearing cold-tolerant life forms) marine and terrestrial habitats including Arctic marine sediments, Antarctic accretion ice, permafrost, and elsewhere are continually being reported.
