Peter Canovas
PhD Candidate
GEOPIG • Arizona State University

Peter focuses on reaction path modeling of high and low temperature ultramafic systems and the potential habitability and impact on known metabolic strategies from the resultant geochemistry. He also performs bioenergetic calculations regarding the chemical affinity associated with a variety of possible metabolisms in hydrothermal systems and has collected dissolved gas samples at the hyperalkaline spring systems at the Semail ophiolite for these purposes.
