Tardigrades and rotifers likely play an important role in supraglacial nutrient cycling through grazing and thus shaping the structure of primary producers in cryoconite holes….
We are seeking a highly motivated student to investigate the phylogenetic and functional diversity of microbial communities in the Greenland Ice Sheet subglacial ecosystem and…
available from 1 January 2021. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research assistant (PDRA) to investigate the origin, age, and fate of methane (CH4)…
After months of planning, sprinkled with hope and despair in equal amounts, we have finally made an unsurprising, but still very difficult, decision: we are…
available from October 2020. We are seeking a highly motivated student to investigate the origin, age, and fate of methane (CH4) released from the Greenland…
New project will investigate the potential of the Greenland Ice Sheet to produce and release methane
The basal environments of ice sheets produce and store large reserves of methane (CH4), which have the potential to raise atmospheric CH4 concentration and thus…
A commentary (‘matters arising’) led by Marek and contributed to by a number of glacier ecologists has been published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, in…
Glacier recession is accelerating with alarming speed across the high latitude and elevation parts of our planet. Despite this urgency, we have only a limited…
The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) due to climate heating results in increasing export of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in glacial meltwaters. However,…
The so-called Dark Zone of the Greenland ice sheet is a conspicuous band of dark bare ice that covers ca 10 000 km2 of the…
