Abstract The Archean era (4 to 2.5 billion years ago, Ga) yielded rocks that include the
oldest conclusive traces of life as well as many controversial occurrences. Carbonaceous …

The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

Soil contamination is an environmental issue due to increasing anthropogenic activities.
Existing processes for soil remediation suffer from long treatment time and lack generality …

Earth's deep carbon cycle affects atmospheric CO2, climate, and habitability. Owing to the
extreme solubility of CaCO3, aqueous fluids released from the subducting slab could extract …

Metamorphic fluids, faults, and shear zones are carriers of carbon from the deep Earth to
shallower reservoirs. Some of these fluids are reduced and transport energy sources, like …

Alteration of ultramafic rocks plays a major role in the production of hydrocarbons and
organic compounds via abiotic processes on Earth and beyond and contributes to the …

When hydrated, phosphides such as the mineral schreibersite,(Fe, Ni) 3P, allow for the
synthesis of important phosphorus-bearing organic compounds. Such phosphides are …

Geological sources of H2 and abiotic CH4 have had a critical role in the evolution of our
planet and the development of life and sustainability of the deep subsurface biosphere. Yet …

The key role of serpentinites in the global cycles of volatiles, halogens and fluid-mobile
elements in oceans and in subduction zones is now ascertained by many studies …

Subduction is a key process for linking the carbon cycle between the Earth's surface and its
interior. Knowing the carbonation and decarbonation processes in the subduction zone is …
