Here we review published studies on the abundance and diversity of terrestrial rock-hosted
life, the environments it inhabits, the evolution of its metabolisms, and its fossil biomarkers to …

Establishing temporal constraints of faulting is of importance for tectonic and seismicity
reconstructions and predictions. Conventional fault dating techniques commonly use bulk …

The Earth's deep biosphere hosts some of its most ancient chemolithotrophic lineages. The
history of habitation in this environment is thus of interest for understanding the origin and …

A coupled elemental-isotopic approach is applied to reconstruct the origin and chemical
evolution of mine drainage, groundwater, and brines from the Carboniferous anthracite coal …

A growing awareness of life in deep igneous crust expands our appreciation for life's
distribution in the upper geosphere through time and space, and extends the known …

Abstract The Cryogenian of the Nanhua Basin (eastern Guizhou Province, South China)
consists of a continuous succession of glacial and post-glacial deposits from the Sturtian …

Earth's crust contains a substantial proportion of global biomass, hosting microbial life up to
several kilometers depth. Yet, knowledge of the evolution and extent of life in this …

Fault‐and fracture‐hosted multi‐stage mineral assemblages that formed by fracture
reactivation and fluid migration, constitute archives of the tectonic evolution of Precambrian …

The sulfur isotope composition of pyrite in marine sedimentary rocks is often difficult to
interpret due to a lack of precise isotopic constraints for coeval sulfate. This study examines …

How subsurface microbial life changed at the bottom of the kilometers‐deep (hypo) Critical
Zone in response to evolving surface conditions over geologic time is an open question …
