New preprint! “Genomics-based quantitative biogeography of marine plankton” - a Tara Oceans effort linking genomes to absolute biomass. Moving from who’s there to how much is there, across the global ocean. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Genomics-based quantitative biogeography of marine plankton
Marine plankton are key drivers of ocean productivity and global carbon cycling, yet their quantitative biogeography remains poorly characterized. Environmental genomic datasets are inherently composi...

New book!! 📕
Antarctica is intimately connected to the rest of our planet, affecting climate, ecosystems, cultures and society. Our new book draws together international experts to explore this influence, and to understand what humans are doing to Antarctica (1/n)

Climate affects microbial life around Antarctica
Bacteria and other single-celled microorganisms in the seas around Antarctica are strongly influenced by water temperature and the amount of sea ice. This …

@bas.ac.uk's IceWorld podcast takes us back to my wonderful 4-month stint in 2022 at the Rothera Research Station & Dirk-Gerritz lab. I researched Southern Ocean microbial life together with Julia Engelmann to understand how climate change impacts nutrient cycles.
