Subsurface storage of hydrogen, eg in depleted oil and gas fields (DOGF), is suggested as a
means to overcome imbalances between supply and demand in the renewable energy …

The terrestrial subsurface hosts microbial communities that, collectively, are predicted to
comprise as many microbial cells as global surface soils. Although initially thought to be …

Our understanding of Earth's rock-hosted subsurface biosphere has advanced over the past
two decades through the collection and analysis of fluids and rocks from aquifers within the …

Abstract The Oman Drilling Project established an “Active Alteration” multi‐borehole
observatory in peridotites undergoing low‐temperature serpentinization in the Samail …

Nearly half a century ago, two papers postulated the likelihood of lunar lava tube caves
using mathematical models. Today, armed with an array of orbiting and fly‐by satellites and …

Geomicrobiological details of the interactions between groundwater microbiome (GWM) and
arsenic (As)-rich aquifer sediment of Bengal basin was investigated through microcosm …

The deep terrestrial biosphere hosts vast sessile rock surface communities and biofilms, but
thus far, mostly planktic communities have been studied. We enriched deep subsurface …

Biofilm formation is a common adaptation for microbes in energy-limited conditions such as
those prevalent in the vast deep terrestrial biosphere. However, due to the low biomass and …

Soil, a potential reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), is inhabited by numerous
microorganisms. Many microorganisms in soil are embedded within a self-produced matrix …

Microorganisms are known to be natural agents of biocorrosion and mineral transformation,
thereby potentially affecting the safety of deep geological repositories used for high‐level …
