Microbiology of a NaCl stalactite 'salticle' in Triassic halite.
- Environmental Microbiology
on Apr 13, 2021
Large regions of Earth's surface are underlain by salt deposits that evaporated from ancient oceans and are populated by extreme halophilic microbes. Some of these halophiles may have been preserved over geological timescales within hypersaline fluid... Read More

Large regions of Earth's surface are underlain by salt deposits that evaporated from ancient oceans and are populated by extreme halophilic microbes. Some of these halophiles may have been preserved over geological timescales within hypersaline fluid... Read More
Astrobiology of life on Earth.
- Environmental Microbiology
on Apr 5, 2021
Astrobiology is mistakenly regarded by some as a field confined to studies of life beyond Earth. Here, we consider life on Earth through an astrobiological lens. Whereas classical studies of microbiology historically focused on various anthropocentri... Read More
Astrobiology of life on Earth.
- Environmental Microbiology
on Apr 5, 2021
Astrobiology is often regarded as the study of life beyond Earth, but here we consider life on Earth through an astrobiological lens. Microbiology has historically focused on various anthropocentric sub-fields (such as fermented foods or commensals a... Read More
The Biological Study of Lifeless Worlds and Environments.
- Astrobiology
- VOL. 21
on Apr 1, 2021
Astrobiology is focused on the study of life in the universe. However, lifeless planetary environments yield biological information on the variety of ways in which physical and chemical conditions in the universe preclude the possibility of the origi... Read More
Titan's Interior Structure and Dynamics After the Cassini-Huygens Mission
- Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences
- VOL. 49
on Mar 22, 2021
The Cassini-Huygens mission that explored the Saturn system during the period 2004–2017 revolutionized our understanding of Titan, the only known moon with a dense atmosphere and the only body, besides Earth, with stable surface liquids. Its predomi... Read More

Carbohydrate-dependent sulfur respiration in halo(alkali)philic archaea.
- Environmental Microbiology
on Feb 4, 2021
Archaea are environmentally ubiquitous on Earth, and their extremophilic and metabolically versatile phenotypes make them useful as model systems for astrobiology. Here, we reveal a new functional group of halo(natrono)archaea able to utilize alpha-d... Read More
Minimum Units of Habitability and Their Abundance in the Universe.
- Astrobiology
on Jan 29, 2021
Although the search for habitability is a much-vaunted objective in the study of planetary environments, the material requirements for an environment to be habitable can be met with relatively few ingredients. In this hypothesis paper, the minimum ma... Read More
