It provides an interdisciplinary overview of the early evolution of life in hydrothermal ecosystems on Earth, focusing on the problem of remote sensing and incorporating geological work relevant to the search for evidence of early life on Earth and Mars. It discusses the belief that studying thermal spring deposits as part of this search may be the best opportunity to test whether life on earth is a ""unique experiment,"" or whether there is life elsewhere in the solar system. 410 0$aCiba Foundation symposium ;$v202. 606 $aLife$xOrigin$vCongresses 606 $aHot spring ecology$vCongresses 606 $aExobiology$vCongresses 615 0$aLife$xOrigin 615 0$aHot spring ecology 615 0$aExobiology 676 $a574.5 676 $a574.5263 701 $aBock$b Gregory$0322650 701 $aGoode$b Jamie$0283336 712 12$aSymposium on Evolution of Hydrothermal Ecosystems on Earth (and Mars?)$f(1996 :$eCiba Foundation) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830973403321 996 $aEvolution of hydrothermal ecosystems on Earth (and Mars?)$94040728 997 $aUNINA
