New Study Implies More Hydrogen In Early Earth Atmosphere Than Previously Thought
April 6, 2005 / Posted by: Shige Abe
NAI researchers on the University of Colorado Team published a new paper this week in ScienceExpress describing an increased quantity of hydrogen in Earth’s early atmosphere due to a slower escape rate. In contrast to the view that the early atmosphere was oxidizing, this work implies a more favorable “climate” for the production of pre-biotic organic compounds like amino acids, and ultimately, life.
