[6/8] Les projections montrent une progression possible des algues vers le sud et les altitudes plus élevées, où la neige fond plus tard. En revanche, les petites îles basses, soumises à une fonte rapide, pourraient perdre ces habitats, révélant une redistribution spatiale. #geography #snowalgae

Fun morning attending an international conference on #snowalgae in my pyjamas. Started at 5 AM our time, attendees from Japan, North America and Europe. #WatermelonSnow

We are excited to join BlueSky at the this exciting time for the program.
The Living Snow Project is going global in 2025!
Anyone anywhere (in mountainous and polar places) can help us study snow algae !

Algae May Speed Melting of Antarctic Ice eos.org/articles/new... paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"The newly discovered algal communities may represent one of the largest photosynthetic habitats in #Antarctica."

[4/8] Leur répartition dépend de la durée de fonte et de l’ensoleillement. Les pentes orientées au nord, qui fondent plus longtemps et reçoivent davantage de rayonnement, accueillent plus souvent ces algues rouges, transformant certains secteurs en foyers de vie inattendus. #geography #snowalgae

A great day at Glasgow Botanical Gardens last Friday for our first pop-up Museum of Microalgae - MoMa

" #SnowAlgae have been known for a long time – earliest records are from the alps in the late 18th century... and first recognised as #algae 40 years later when an expedition was exploring the North-West passage "

It’s chilly out there. #hiking #rainier #snow #landscape #nature #pnw #gooutside #snowalgae #washington

[7/8] Cette extension n’est pas anodine, car plus d’algues signifie plus de surfaces sombres qui accélèrent la fonte. Les scientifiques soulignent que ce cercle de rétroaction pourrait transformer les paysages polaires et influencer la biodiversité qui en dépend. #geography #snowalgae #Antarctica
