UC Riverside publication in Nature Reviews Microbiology unites ancient rock data, genomic studies, and Earth's evolving chemistry to enhance understanding of early life and inform climate change predictions and extraterrestrial life searches.
A UC Riverside paper published in Nature Reviews Microbiology aims to deepen the understanding of early life on Earth and guide future research. The study brings together data on ancient rocks containing early life signs, genomic studies of modern organisms, and recent developments about the evolving chemistry of Earth's oceans, atmosphere, and continents. This research could help predict climate change and aid in the search for life beyond Earth.
