Soil Hawaii

Caption

The photo taken on Kauai Island (Hawaii) shows the interplay of iron oxide-rich soils, water, vegetation and higher temperatures – conditions that may generally favor the abiotic formation of methanol and formaldehyde described in the study. The shot arose during another field campaign and is not part of the study.
