Bacterial Dynamics in Supraglacial Habitats of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Bacterial Dynamics in Supraglacial Habitats of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Current research into bacterial dynamics on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is biased toward cryoconite holes, despite this habitat covering less than 8% of the ablation (melt) zone surface. In contrast, the expansive surface ice, which supports wide-spread Streptophyte micro-algal blooms thought to...
