Funded Activity Summary

The paleoenvironmental evolution of Earth and Mars. The project proposes to develop and apply high-resolution isotopic and geochemical techniques to measure the timing and intensity of water-rock interactions at the Earth’s surface throughout the geological past. Water–rock interactions shape the Earth’s landscape, determine the composition of surface and groundwater, produce the soils that sustain life, and buffer the composition of the atmosphere. Ultimately, the project aims to generate a time-calibrated and continuous continental paleoenvironmental record for key sites in the southern hemisphere, spanning from the Mesozoic to the present. Results from this study may allow us to quantify water–rock interactions on Earth, and may also be applicable to investigating the hydrological cycle on Mars.
