It is truly fascinating how biological and non-biological components of the earth system interact with one another. Nowhere is this more clearly and beautifully illustrated than at the earth's poles. My research into glacier-dwelling microbes and their impact upon melting ice is driven by a deep appreciation of the fragile and sensitive nature of earth's ice and snow, and a curiosity of life in extreme habitats. In the face of contemporary climate change, I believe such research will become increasingly important. Please see my personal website for more details, and do not hesitate to contact with any queries. Thank you for viewing my profile and please take the time to view my current Microryza project!
