Most of the proposed objectives in this grant were achieved during the 3 year duration of the grant and its one year extension. In addition, shortly after initiation of the grant, the discovery of gullies on Mars apparently formed by recent seepage of fluids was announced. Together with partial support from the Astrobiology Institute, I devoted considerable effort during the grant interval into understanding the origin of these gullies because of their astrobiological significance. In addition, longstanding investigations of the environmental conditions of the Early Earth initiated years ago under previous NASA and NSF funding reached fruition and these were presented and published. This report summarizes the significant findings reported during the grant interval. Some of the work initiated during this interval has been completed under the subsequent Exobiology grant and will be reported at the appropriate time.
