Stable isotope evidence for the biogeochemical transformation of ancient organic matter beneath Suess Glacier, Antarctica

Stable isotope evidence for the biogeochemical transformation of ancient organic matter beneath Suess Glacier, Antarctica

Glaciers overrun organic matter (OM) during periods of advance, making this overrun OM available as a metabolic substrate for subglacial microbes. The biogeochemical fate of this overrun OM remains poorly understood, ultimately limiting our understanding of subglacial biogeochemical cycling, particu...
