Water-rich planets: How habitable is a water layer deeper than on Earth?

Article ID Journal Published Year Pages File Type

Abstract
We conclude that water-rich planets with a deep ocean, a large planet mass, a high average density or a low surface temperature are likely less habitable than planets with an Earth-like ocean.
