Abiotic factors influence microbial diversity in permanently cold soil horizons of a maritime-associated Antarctic Dry Valley
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)The McMurdo Dry Valleys collectively comprise the most extensive ice-free region in Antarctica and are considered one of the coldest arid environments on Earth. In low-altitude maritime-associated valleys, mineral soil ... -
Accuracy assessment of land surface temperature retrievals from Landsat 7 ETM + in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica using iButton temperature loggers and weather station data
(Springer, 2013)The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are the largest snow/ice-free regions on this vast continent, comprising 1 % of the land mass. Due to harsh environmental conditions, the valleys are bereft of any vegetation. Land ... -
Actinobacteria and cyanobacteria diversity in terrestrial Antarctic microenvironments using culture-dependent and independent methods
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Bacterial diversity from McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica, the largest desert on earth, has become more easily assessed with the development of High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) techniques. However, some of the diversity ... -
Adaptations to submarine hydrothermal environments exemplified by the genome of Nautilia profundicola
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Submarine hydrothermal vents are model systems for the Archaean Earth environment, and some sites maintain conditions that may have favored the formation and evolution of cellular life. Vents are typified by rapid fluctuations ... -
Aerobiology Over Antarctica - A New Initiative for Atmospheric Ecology
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016-02-16)The role of aerial dispersal in shaping patterns of biodiversity remains poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of coordinated efforts in gathering data at appropriate temporal and spatial scales. It has been long known ...

The effects of ocean acidification on microbial nutrient cycling and productivity in coastal marine sediments
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Ocean Acidification (OA), commonly referred to as the “other CO₂ problem,” illustrates the current rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels, precipitated in large by human-related activity (e.g., fossil fuel combustion ... -
An investigation of microbial communities across two extreme geothermal gradients on Mt. Erebus, Victoria Land, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2021)The geothermal fumaroles present on Mt. Erebus, Antarctica, are home to numerous unique and possibly endemic bacteria. The isolated nature of Mt. Erebus provides an opportunity to closely examine how geothermal physico-chemistry ... -
Sea ice dynamics drive benthic microbial communities in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Globally, Earth’s warming climate is evidently driving sea ice variability in high latitude regions. In the Arctic, older and thicker multi-year sea ice is declining and transitioning into younger and more ephemeral ... -
Microbial abundance and diversity surrounding mummified seals in Miers Valley, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2004)The presence of a number of mummified seal carcasses have been reported in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. The location of seal carcasses were observed up to 240km in-land, and approximately 1500m above sea level. The ... -
Temporal dynamics of microbial communities in geothermal hotsprings of the Taupo Volcanic Zone
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Few studies of microbial biogeography address temporal variability in physicochemical conditions and communities in geothermal environments. Here we examine the temporal variability of 43 chemical analytes, temperature and ...
