Effect of water activity on rates of serpentinization of olivine [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Serpentinization of mantle rocks occurs in a variety of tectonic settings, but the controls on the rates of serpentinization are poorly constrained. Here, the authors developed anin situexperimental method to show that the rate of serpentinization is ...

Interrelation between rifting, faulting, sedimentation, and mantle serpentinization during continental margin formation—including examples from the Norwegian Sea [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013 The conditions permitting mantle serpentinization during continental rifting are explored within 2‐D thermotectonostratigraphic basin models, which track the rheological evolution of the continental crust, account for sediment blanketing effects, and ...

Finding natural $$\hbox {H}_{2}$$ generation zones in Midcontinent Rift in the U.S. by identifying the geophysical signatures of a serpentinization system [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHydrogen is gaining attention as an energy source for its zero CO2 emission. Hydrogen may be manufactured by breaking down water using solar and wind energy. However, the high cost of manufactured hydrogen makes it uneconomical.

Serpentinization as the source of energy, electrons, organics, catalysts, nutrients and pH gradients for the origin of LUCA and life [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Serpentinization in hydrothermal vents is central to some autotrophic theories for the origin of life because it generates compartments, reductants, catalysts and gradients.

Dataset for H2, CH4 and organic compounds formation during experimental serpentinization
Geoscience Data Journal, 2021 Serpentinization refers to the alteration of ultramafic rocks that produces serpentines and secondary (hydr)oxides under hydrothermal conditions. Serpentinization can generate H2, which in turn can potentially reduce CO/CO2 and produce organic molecules ...

A primordial origin for the atmospheric methane of Saturn's moon Titan [PDF]
, 2009 The origin of Titan's atmospheric methane is a key issue for understanding the origin of the Saturnian satellite system. It has been proposed that serpentinization reactions in Titan's interior could lead to the formation of the observed methane ...
