Really nice commentary on our recent @LeverhulmeTrust #iDAPT project glacier algal genome paper. Many thanks to the authors, mainly associated with the @watertoland project I believe. Nice work @_AlexBowles @Bristol_Glac @GeogBristol

Dr Alexander Bowles gives insight into the evolutionary journey of glacier algae from the deep past to the present in this new blog. As we face a changing climate, understanding these microscopic organisms is key to predicting the future of Earth’s icy environments.

How does algae survive at the planet's coldest extremes? 🍀 That's the question that took Emily Broadwell (aka @em_lm_b) to Signy Research Station, as part of her PhD research at @MicroLabBristo1 🏔️ 🧵

Really excited to be here as part of our work at @MicroLabBristo1
PhD student Emily Broadwell has voyaged to one of the most remote locations on Earth ❄️🏔️ It took Emily two weeks to reach Signy Island, which is 370 miles from the Antarctic peninsula and 800 miles from the Falkland Islands 🐧 📢 https://t.co/zTq5OmLzhP

First Microlab meeting of 2024, say hi to this year's team! We have familiar faces (post doc @JazzedUpScience, PhD students @em_lm_b, Maddy and Paulina) plus new members research technician Sonia Giulietti and PhD student Holly Liken. And of course Chris lurking behind the camera

In 10 days I’ll be off to Signy Island, Antarctica with @BAS_News to assess the snow and glacier algal blooms there. I’ll be sharing more of the journey and what I get up to on our team page (@MicroLabBristo1) and my insta (em_lm98) 🐧❄️ #Antarctica #algae #polar #microbiology

The relationship between glacier melt and bloom growth is more complex than a linear positive feedback melt. We look forward to sharing this in more detail in our paper very soon...
