Iron mineralogy, hydrogen production, and brucite reactivity during low-temperature serpentinization in the Samail ophiolite Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Serpentinized peridotite is actively reacting with groundwater in the; subsurface in the Samail ophiolite in Oman. Although these rocks are; partially to completely serpentinized, they are steeped in a groundwater; aquifer containing hyperalkaline fluids rich in H production that can; continue at low temperature, even after primary olivine and pyroxene are; exhausted, thereby sustaining habitable conditions for microbial life.
