Diverse geochemical conditions for prebiotic chemistry in shallow-sea alkaline hydrothermal vents

Hydrothermal systems, where geothermally heated water discharges through a planet’s crust, occur on land or underwater. Hydrothermal systems have been proposed as environments that could support the emergence of life, with particular attention given to deep-sea vents and on-land hot springs. We prop...

Zusammenfassung:	Hydrothermal systems, where geothermally heated water discharges through a planet’s crust, occur on land or underwater. Hydrothermal systems have been proposed as environments that could support the emergence of life, with particular attention given to deep-sea vents and on-land hot springs. We propose that alkaline hydrothermal vents in shallow waters (
