Jupiter's icy moon, Europa, harbors a subsurface liquid water ocean; the prospect of this
ocean being habitable motivates further exploration of the moon with the upcoming NASA …

The habitability of Europa is a property within a system, which is driven by a multitude of
physical and chemical processes and is defined by many interdependent parameters, so …

Abstract The Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field is characterized by extensive seismicity,
episodes of uplift and subsidence, and a hydrothermal system that comprises more than …

Hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) additives are used to enhance oil and gas extraction from
unconventional shale formations. Several kilometers downhole, these organic chemicals are …

Natural organic matter plays an important role in oceanic hydrothermal systems through a
combination of geological and chemical processes. However, identifying the hydrothermal …

There has been a surge in the number of studies on submarine hydrothermal vents and
