Objectives

Define the pathways that control how energy is released from ultramafic rocks as they react with low-temperature fluids
Identify and interpret the process rates and ecology in systems undergoing water/rock reaction
Quantify the geochemical and mineralogical progression of water/rock reactions in the presence and absence of biology
Characterize microbial communities within rock-hosted ecosystems and evaluating their metabolic activities
Develop and test predictive models of biological habitability during water/rock interaction
