This project investigates the deep biosphere, exploring ancient microbial life in Earth's subsurface and its implications for Mars. It combines fossil analysis, experimental work, and modeling to understand the geological record and potential biosignatures of deep life.
In recent decades, samples from mines and boreholes have revealed that our planet’s biosphere extends several miles downwards into the crust.
Pores and fissures far below the seafloor and land surface are populated by vast numbers of microorganisms, with broad economic and scientific implications.
These implications reach as far as Mars, whose subsurface has provided a potentially habitable environment for billions of years, protected from the hostile conditions at the surface.
Although Earth's…
