Ancient basement complexes which contain iron and/or uranium rich rocks e.g. Archaean greenstone and Precambrian basement terranes, 'hot' granites' - may generate hydrogen via: o radiolytic processes (radioactive decay breaks bonds in water) & o oxidation of Fe2+ rich minerals (serpentinization). fractured and seismically active source areas - deep-seated faults can both channel migrating hydrogen up from deep sources to surface and introduce water downward for further chemical reaction with exposed iron-rich rocks. Sedimentary cover may reservoir and trap migrating hydrogen particularly if aquifer systems and/or seal rocks like salt are present (see Bradshaw et al. 2023). Thermogenic decomposition of organic matter (e.g. over-mature source rocks). Surficial hydrogen seeps? Seeps can be blind or coincident with visible sub-circular topographic depressions on the metre to kilometre scale ('fairy circles').
