Potential technosignature from anomalously low deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) in planetary water depleted by nuclear fusion technology
David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tyler D. Robinson
Deuterium-deuterium (DD) fusion is viewed as an ideal energy source for humanity in the far future, given a vast seawater supply of D. Here, we consider long-lived, extraterrestria…
Three-stage Formation of Cap Carbonates after Marinoan Snowball Glaciation Consistent with Depositional Timescales and Geochemistry
Trent B. Thomas, David C. Catling
At least two global "Snowball Earth" glaciations occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era (1000-538.8 million years ago). Post-glacial surface environments during this time are recor…
Origin of Life Molecules in the Atmosphere After Big Impacts on the Early Earth
Nicholas F. Wogan, David C. Catling, Kevin J. Zahnle +1
The origin of life on Earth would benefit from a prebiotic atmosphere that produced nitriles, like HCN, which enable ribonucleotide synthesis. However, geochemical evidence suggest…
