“…the studies highlight the power of weathering as a key driver behind shifts in Earth’s climate, and how components of the planet as disparate as rocks and the atmosphere are inextricably linked.” “Nothing can be understood in isolation.” Galen Halverson, @EPS_McGill in @sciencemagazine https://www.science.org/content/article/massive-lava-outburst-may-have-led-snowball-earth

In a new collaboration with a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (@nasajpl), Nagissa Mahmoudi of @McGill_EPS is investigating potential biosignatures on two of our solar system’s moons: Europa, orbiting Jupiter, and Enceladus, orbiting Saturn. Scientists think that, under the surface, these water worlds could possess the right conditions to support microbial life. https://www.mcgill.ca/channels/channels/news/exploring-potential-signatures-life-ocean-moons-349006
