Rutgers-led review suggests meteor impact craters may have created hydrothermal settings where life first emerged.
What started as a senior-year assignment on Mars hydrothermal vents turned into a published scientific review arguing that meteor impact crater systems rival deep-sea vents as cradles of early life.
