Life in the volcanic crust of the early Earth: conditions, timing and depth

Over the past decade, our group has provided convincing evidence that alteration of basaltic glass in pillow lavas of modern and ancient oceanic crust is partially controlled by microbial activity. As a result, bioactivity may have important implications for global chemical fluxes and the evoluti...

Tracing fossil bio-signals in young to ancient ophiolites

The purpose of this project is to trace signals that may indicate former biomediated alteration of originally glassy volcanic rocks (pillow lavas and hyaloclastites) of former oceanic crust, i.e. ophiolites. We intend to utilize bio-signals worked out for in-situ oceanic crust to fossil oceanic ...
