Abstract
⺠Impact-generated hydrothermal activity is commonplace on Earth and likely Mars. ⺠Hydrothermal deposits may be found in six settings within and around impact craters. ⺠Impact-generated hydrothermal systems may provide important habitats for life. ⺠New evidence for impact-generated hydrothermal systems on Mars is presented. ⺠Hydrothermally altered rocks provide nutrients and habitats for life after activity has ceased.
