Conceptual diagram of the process of serpentinization in Oman. At the surface, serpentinized fluid, surrounding surface water, and storm runoff can mix, which results in geochemical gradients. The inset picture shows one of the sites in this study where surrounding surface water is gently mixing into serpentinized fluid.
