Evidence of Water-Rock Interaction Throughout the Solar System

Session ID#: 79575

Session Description:
Water-rock interactions play an essential role in the origin, existence, and prospects of life, as well as the evolution of planetary surfaces. It is necessary to identify and characterize water’s presence, abundance, chemistry, and distribution in order to constrain early Solar System conditions, including those prevailing on Earth during the emergence of life. This session is devoted to work documenting and constraining the conditions and fate of early Solar System water, as reflected on the Moon, Earth (including analog studies), Mars, asteroids, and outer Solar System moons. This broad view will be united by a focus on using records of water-rock interaction to reconstruct aqueous conditions through time and space, including the importance of distinguishing between primary and diagenetic signals. This session seeks contributions applying field, geochemical, geomorphological, and/or theoretical methods to characterize aqueous processes through time.
