Abstract: Prior to the advent of oxygenic photosynthesis ~ 2.8–3.2 Ga, life was dependent on chemical energy captured from oxidation–reduction reactions involving minerals or substrates generated through interaction of water with minerals. Terrestrial hydrothermal environments host abundant and…

Abstract: Abstract During the Hadean, Earth recovered from the Moon-forming giant impact, became covered with liquid water oceans, and witnessed the onset of plate tectonics and life. Quantifying the abundances, distribution, and chemical states of water…

Abstract: When considering life’s aetiology, the first questions that must be addressed are “how?” and “where?” were ostensibly complex molecules, considered necessary for life’s beginning, constructed from simpler, more abundant feedstock molecules on primitive Earth. Previously,…

Abstract: When hydrated, phosphides such as the mineral schreibersite, (Fe,Ni)3P, allow for the synthesis of important phosphorus-bearing organic compounds. Such phosphides are common accessory minerals in meteorites; consequently, meteorites are proposed to be a main source…

Abstract: Mass-independent fractionation of sulfur isotopes (MIF-S)—as recorded primarily in pre-2.5 billion years ago (Ga) sedimentary rocks—has been interpreted as evidence of photolysis of volcanic SO2 in an anoxic troposphere. Here, I present thermodynamic and kinetic…

Abstract: Many studies link the presence of continents on Earth to the operation of plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotope data have, however, long consigned the bulk of crust generation and preservation to the murky realm of the…

Abstract: The properties of high-temperature lithospheric fluids within the early Earth are poorly known, yet many origin-of-life scenarios depend upon their characteristics. These fluids represent a key communication pathway between Earth’s interior and hydrothermal pools. We…
