Written by two of the best US researchers in the field, this text
investigates issues of astrobiological relevance in the context of cold
aqueous planetary geochemistry. At the core of the technical chapters is
the FREZCHEM model, initially developed over many years by one of the
authors to quantify aqueous electrolyte properties and chemical
thermodynamics at subzero temperatures. FREZCHEM is of huge relevance to
scientists in a number of fields, including biogeochemists.
