Serpentinization: Connecting Geochemistry, Ancient Metabolism and Industrial Hydrogenation

open access: yesLife, 2018
Rock–water–carbon interactions germane to serpentinization in hydrothermal vents have occurred for over 4 billion years, ever since there was liquid water on Earth. Serpentinization converts iron(II) containing minerals and water to magnetite

Carbonation and serpentinization of diopsidite in the Altun Mountains, NW China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Mineral carbonation of mafic–ultramafic rocks has been highlighted as a promising way for permanent carbon capture and storage. Carbonatization involves the release of Ca, Mg and Fe from silicate minerals by dissolution and reaction in the aqueous phase ...

Serpentinization of mantle‐derived peridotites at mid‐ocean ridges: Mesh texture development in the context of tectonic exhumation

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
At slow spreading ridges, axial detachment faults exhume mantle‐derived peridotites and hydrothermal alteration causes serpentinization in a domain extending more than 1 km next to the fault.

Water, oceanic fracture zones and the lubrication of subducting plate boundaries - insights from seismicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the relationship between subduction processes and related seismicity for the Lesser Antilles Arc using the Gutenberg-Richter law. This power lawdescribes the earthquakemagnitude distribution, with the gradient of the cumulative magnitude ...

Mantle wedge serpentinization effects on slab dips

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017
The mechanical coupling between a subducting slab and the overlying mantle wedge is an important factor in controlling the subduction dip angle and the flow in mantel wedge. This paper investigates the role of the amount of mantle serpentinization on the

Fluid‐Mantle Interaction Along the Mariana Convergent Margin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Active serpentinite mud volcanoes in the forearc region of the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana system represent an excellent natural laboratory for studying the geochemical processes along convergent plate margins and the associated forearc. During IODP Expedition 366,

A self-sustaining serpentinization mega-engine feeds the fougerite nanoengines implicated in the emergence of guided metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The demonstration by Ivan Barnes et al. that the serpentinization of fresh Alpine-type ultramafic rocks results in the exhalation of hot alkaline fluids is foundational to the submarine alkaline vent theory (AVT) for life’s emergence to its ‘improbable ...

Carbonate alteration of ophiolitic rocks in the Arabian–Nubian Shield of Egypt: sources and compositions of the carbonating fluid and implications for the formation of Au deposits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ultramafic portions of ophiolitic fragments in the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS) show pervasive carbonate alteration forming various degrees of carbonated serpentinites and listvenitic rocks.

Micro-impact-induced mechano-chemical synthesis of organic precursors from FeC/FeN and carbonates/nitrates in water and its extension to nucleobases

open access: yesGreen Processing and Synthesis, 2023
Much effort was taken to elucidate how organic precursors appeared in early Earth, and attention was paid to two impact experiments: hypervelocity impacts by a propellant gun which simulated meteorite collides to Earth forming fatty acids and amino acids

Serpentinization-Associated Mineral Catalysis of the Protometabolic Formose System

open access: yesLife, 2023
The formose reaction is a plausible prebiotic chemistry, famed for its production of sugars. In this work, we demonstrate that the Cannizzaro process is the dominant process in the formose reaction under many different conditions, thus necessitating a ...
